Windows issue

I'm about to through my PC at work off the roof. Here's the situation...I recently received a new computer and moved the settings from my old PC to it.
When I open a page in IE, the progress bar at the bottom gets to approx. 99% and then sits there for about 30 seconds or so. Every page, every time.
When I go to open a document, same thing...double click on it and wait for almost 30 seconds before Word opens and then the document.
Right-click menu option to open or edit a file...same result.
It also seems to slow the system drastically at times.
Any thoughts?
3.0GHz
1GB RAM
XP Pro
80GB HD
All updates installed and even tried IE7. Firefox is working fine for the internet but I need the rest resolved for support issues.
