Reinstall the OS. If you want it to be fast use Ubuntu! :)
Only install programs that you will actually use
Use MSConfig to stop programs from automatically starting with windows (start..run..msconfig..startup)
You may want to use a defragger or a stystem/registry cleaner. Many 'experts' say that this is not necessary. I run Advanced System care, and then Smart DEfrag once a week and it at least makes me feel like my computer is faster afterwards. Only use these programs after you have reinstalled the os and programs or they're useless.

When I go to the uninstall list, the size of the scroll bar is less then .5cm tall. That would take weeks straight.

Well that is not my fault is it. Re install the OS if you cant be bothered to do a little bit of work.

0	Uninstall some programs or check and see what programs automatically start and stay running when your computer turns on. answered Aug 07 '11 at 19:34 wvpspdude 301●6●7●19

0	Restore OS to factory settings. And next time, don't install as much crap on your computer. I hardly ever install more than what comes on the disc. answered Aug 07 '11 at 20:36 JordanV 4.1k●62●83●126

0	You could try doing a defrag. answered Aug 07 '11 at 20:42 tj00139 551●7●14●21
