My PC is running really really slow at the moment, it takes twice as long to boot up, and sometimes lags when i move the mouse and programess are taking ages to open.

IM running windws XP professional,

Would it have anything to do with
1) New externam modem
2) INcorect driver for external modem
3) Instalation of latest graphics card driver
