Vista was running sweet, not so anymore (two weeks after install)

[Guest]

Everything was running great with vista ultimate (clean install) until two
days ago. Two days ago I have my computer running meanwhile I decide to play
xbox360. I notice the computer sees the 360 and prompts me to install Media
Center (Media Extender). I did, even though it took for ever to install.
And, now vista is slow to boot (5mins vs 10secs before), IE7 takes forever to
load, basically everything is bogged down now.

How do I use system restore? Better yet will that even work. I could care
less about the 360 and pc seeing each other. I'd rather have my fast machine
back.

Click on the Start button and in the search box type restore.
Select system restore and follow the prompts

I had a problem with Vista making my IE7 run slow. Turns out it was the Phishing Filter on McAfee. It was interfering with the phising filter on windows. I turned off the one on McAfee and now everything is speedy.
