One of most common issues that I see are computers with poor performance due to a fragmented hard drive.  I have been using Diskeeper software for years, and I highly recommend purchasing a version for your computer.  Following is a description from Executive Software:

Diskeeper Home Edition:
Diskeeper handles a primary cause of slow computers.  Fragmentation occurs when files are written to your hard disk in separate chunks. Your drive has many bits of storage space here and there; it’s not kept in one big place. So when you save a file, the computer divides it up and sticks these bits of your file wherever they will fit. So the next time you open that file, the computer must look in several places on your drive to open the whole file.  This slows everything down. Instead of your file popping up on your screen right away, the computer reads some of your file here, then over there and back again before it gets the whole thing. And then the file opens. Diskeeper puts your files back together. It monitors your hard drive and when files get fragmented into separate chunks, it puts them back together. No more looking here and there for a file’s pieces, it’s all in one spot. You documents will snap up on the screen like lightning again. Just like when your computer was new. And best of all – Diskeeper does this all automatically. You can “Set It and Forget It” ® and Diskeeper will keep your system fast and free of fragmentation.

My Two-Cents...
I recommend that you choose scheduling and have the computer defragment your hard drive at the same time every day without you having to do another thing.
