Sean,
Pay no attention to the Mac guy. Alright, click on the system icon under the control panel. Check to see what items have a question mark or an exclmation mark next to them. I've seen more slow downs due to NIC (network cards) with out/incorrect drivers running. Try to identify all the problems in system and get the drivers loaded for them. If your not sure whgat they are take ask your friend for every CD he has and look for specifics, i.e. sound card disks, NIC disks, modem disks ect. What ever he gives you that matches, load.
Click on the displpay icon under system, it should state "Standard diplay driver" click on remove at the bottom of the screen. the system will want to restart, let it do it.
Now when it reboots see if it identifies the correct make of the card. If not grab the disk that came with the card and load the drivers that came with it. Even old drivers are better than nothing to get you going. Ff you don't have the disk go to the manufactures web page, identify the make of the card and download it's drivers.
If you have all the correct drivers loaded press CRTL+ALT+DEL and see what progams are listed as running in the background. If there are a lot then turn them off one by one and see how the performance increasses.
If that doesn't work let me know, you can always remove the cards one by one inside the machine to see if one is crowbaring the whole system. Beyond that I could have you send me a copy of his registry to check and see.
Hope this helps.
