You can use WinTop to check who is using all those clock cycles :

An overtop install usually fixes any problems, just put your Win98 CD in the drive and doubleclick setup.exe at the CD root.

It could be your anti virus if you have any, i used to find on my old system that opening a folder took ages while it did scan of the contents the same used to happen if i opened my computer.

If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.
