Try this, it is fairly thorough

 Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop
  • Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  • It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
  • Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.  Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
  • Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

The best help we can offer it to know your system specifications as to how much RAM and CPU type and speed of the system.

Ccleaner is very good and safe to use, how long has it been since you did a defrag? piriform also have an excellent defrag tool, defraggler.
Sorry guy's there was no post's here a minute ago :)
