Hey... if this computer is 3.5 years old you need to do one thing to help it out.
Format the hard drive and start over. What is the OS on it now? W98SE I bet? Pls do not say Windows Millinum (or however they spell it) ...
I format my drive ever year to clean out all the crap that is loaded and then not deleted. Try W2000 or XP as an OS. If you are not that comfortable doing it take it to a computer shop and have them do it. Will make a world of difference.
Until you do something like format the HD, defrag at least every couple of weeks. As well do a complete virus check (with updated info) every week at the minimum. I do it every night while asleep.
