ok heres the go

my desktop has been unused for about 6 months now cause it redicuasly slow.

It use to be a first person gamer but suddenly it takes about ten minutes to start up and then another 5 to log on them at least half an hour before I can open a program.

I at least want it running at normal speeds but If I can play on it again sweet

Do I need more RAM?

I have done all that defrag stuff

Try reformatting it, if you have the OS disk. It's the best way to speed it up again.
