Whats wrong with my computer?! Help me!?!?

My computer has barely ANYTHING on it. And its sooooooo slow. It won't do anything anymore! I've cleaned it several times (while i'm cleaning it, I see a bunch of things I have deleted and uninstalled a LONG time ago), I've checked for a virus, and still nothing!! It takes almost an hour to load a 3 minute video and it always has a "memory error" What do I do?! I am almost ready to buy a new computer. Please help me!

Answers:
If you still have the operating disk, and the driver disks.

Before you go and buy a new PC, just try and erase the whole hard drive and put the operating system on it again.

Then you'll have an OS with nothing on, download and install your core programs, and it should be quicker, no virus' from before will be on it, no rubbish files you dont need will be on it, and none of the unessecery disk wasting space will be used.

Then if it is still slow, then yea, i agree.. get a new pc.
have you ever ever ever done any housekeeping on the thing?
go to tools, options and clear cookies, cache, temp files, then go to accesories in all programs and use the defrag etc..set up scheduled maintenance.
sheesh
Sounds like you have the right idea . . . . buy a new one.
Have you emptied the recycle bin. Reduce the amount of programs running at start up like MS Word or IE7 or messenger program. Get the idea.
Try a degrag. Then if it's still slow try upgrading your memory (RAM) to atleast 256 MB.
What kind of computer? What operating system? How big is the hard drive?
