I just bought a new computer and for some reason any new program or window that I bring up takes about 5 to 7 seconds to bring up. I don't think that its the hardware since it has 2 GB's of RAM and a Core duo, so I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this?

you customized and built this computer?

RAM compatibilty issues, timings arent set right, wrong speed etc..

if you bought it from a store then I dont know what, contact tech support

i dont think that its the RAM since when I am using the program it runs fine, and its a store bought so I didnt build it

Since it's a new store bought system I'll bet there's quite a lot of useless software pre-installed and just as many unnecessary processes running. Uninstall anything you won't use and kill any nonessential processes.

Here's a guide to do the latter:

Also, run through the recommendations in this Windows tweak guide, it'll help speed things up as well:
