Removing programs in Add/Remove Programs may not speed up the computer.  Many programs 
are listed in Add/Remove Programs but are run very rarely os why delete them?  The 
thing to do is reduce teh number of programs that startup when the computer is booted. 
 Go to Start, Run, enter msconfig and click OK.  Then click on the Startup tab.  
A list is displayed showing programs - if there is a tick in the box to the left 
of the name then that program is started automatically.  If the program is not necessary 
to start, remove the rick.  Reboot and see how performance is.  Warning - do not 
remove startup items for scanreg, systray, explorer if they are in teh list.  Also 
note that some programs may restart anyway - in which case, you may have to run the 
program and remove its startup actions by going to Options or Preferencees or some 
similar tool bar item
