First suggestion is to not post your birthdate like that on the internet, haven't you heard of predators and/or identity theft?  They'll have a field day with that information girlfriend!

Your question ... there are lots of ways to make your system faster, here's my top suggestions:

Clean your system and remove programs you don't use.

Defragment your system at least once a month.

Turn off any startup items that you don't need to run.  To do this:

Click Start

Click Run

Type "msconfig" without quotes and enter

Select the "Startup" tab

Select "disable all" and do NOT apply.  Go back through the list and put a checkmark beside any items that are associated with your antivirus/antispyware programs.  There could be multiple files for each, and you can tell what program the file is associated with my looking in the Command line name.  Once you've enabled just those things, click "apply" and restart.  When it reboots, check on "ignore this warning" at the bottom of the box that comes up, you're good to go.  This single procedure will drastically increase your performance if you had a long list of items enabled in that menu before.

You can increase your virtual RAM.  Virtual RAM is an amount of space assigned on your hard drive to act just the same as actual RAM.  Of course it doesn't, so don't go getting all excited about jacking your computer up to 20 gigs or anything like that.

Virtual RAM can be adjusted through the Control Panel/Performance and Maintenance/System/Hardware.  Halfway down the little box that opens up you'll see Virtual Memory settings.  Go in there, set the minimum and maximum to the same level.  The size should be based on your existing real RAM, so if you have 2 gigs of real RAM, you should set your virtual RAM to THREE times that amount maximum.  Once you've inputted the figures remember to push "set" on the right or it won't take.  You'll then need to re-start your system for it to be recognized.

Hope all this helps.

I don't know how it your pc is because depending on how old it is sometimes its time to get a new one. If it's fairly recent there are a few things you can do to improve proformance. Clean the temporary files every now and then and clean the unused icons if you don't need them, defrag the hard drive this will improvme the performance, add more RAM into the PC today it's good if you have at lest 2GB (Gigabytes) of memory, Try not to have unnessasary programs running in the background.  You can go into the Task Maager by pressing CTRL, ALT and DEL if your running Vista it goes to a menu and click start task manager if your running XP it comes up without a menu. In the performance tab you can see how much memory is being used if it's between 40-60 % its ok but 70-90% more memory is needed. These numbers in the task manager will change a lot
