Very Slow Laptop

[junimon]

I have ASUS Eee PC 1005P bought in 2010, it was fast at that time. Unfortunately, lately its been as slow as a turtle from opening a file or a website. I reinstalled its recovery CD along with original drivers but still no improvement. Do you have any ideas of what might be the problem?

Well from the specs I can tell running windows 7 is going to be slow, but check the hard drive for errors.

should i resort to windows xp to solve the problem?
