windows explorer freezing

[Debbie]

When I am in windows explorer and I click on anything my computer freezes.
It can be any where from a few seconds to a few minutes. It doesn't happen
at any particular time or doing anything specific. I do have this problem
elsewhere but the biggest issue is when I am in windows explorer. Even
opening windows explorer can be a long wait. I have windows 2000
professional service pack 4. I have run spyware progs but I can find
nothing. Please advise. Thank you.
