Tina, if your hardware is fully functional and the system is just really 
slow, wiping the hard drive and starting over with a minimalist windows 
install
is like resurrecting the dead!  
The windows versions that come pre-installed are loaded with choke-ware, a 
Microsoft version in the box is much cleaner.
Things speed up and work like they should.  
Just check the hardware requirements for Windows 7 to be sure you have 
enough muscle....
