laptop recently running vey slow

Hello all,

I am having issues with my laptop. It used to run 'fairly' quickly but recently it is running very slow (e.g. I cannot have too many windows open nor play Last.fm whilst surfing the internet like I used to without it taking ages to load each page!)

I restored it to the factory settings to remove any rubbish I had on there but still no joy and it automatially defrags every Wednesday.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips for what I could do to the laptop to make it run faster, I don't want to purchase RAM etc as it's quite an old laptop (2years). Just clean up/performance improvement tips which I can do on the laptop.

To top it off I have 3" a black line running down the right of the screen and 1" black line across the bottom, however, I can still see everything but the screen looks like it has compressed itself! I am going to install a new driver today!

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Cheers
