Do a system restore. Click start, all programs, accessories, system tools, system restore. Follow the instructions to restore to a date prior to the install of MPM. You will not lose any new files but you may have to update your antipvirus program.

#1 Make sure your laptop is free from virus, spyware and trojan. A virus or spyware can make your laptop run slow or even damage the whole system. Run a security scan to find out if there are infection files hidden in the system. The slow laptop would be fixed by eliminating the virus.
#2 Remove obsolete programs to release more hard drive space. Laptop slow problem sometimes would be caused by the less hard drive space. To optimize your slow laptop, you can try to delete those unneeded programs, files from the hard disk especially the system disk.
#3 Empty the Recycle Bin to retrieve more system resource. Your laptop slow symptom maybe arises due to the deleted files in the Recycle Bin. If you forget to empty the Recycle Bin, those files in fact still exist on the hard drive and keep eating up your laptop system resource so that the laptop will run slow.
#4 Scan and fix Windows registry. Do you know how important registry is in Windows system? Corrupted, invalid or malicious registry will slow down your laptop and make it run unstable. You would receive many error messages such as dll errors, Internet Explorer errors or blue screen of death in the using of laptop.

There are many things you can do to speed up your laptop:
1. Try going to the control panel add/remove programs (or a variation thereof depending on your operating system) and removing programs that you dont use anymore.
2.If you have more than one hard drive (as in when you click my computer you have a C drive and possibly a D drive move any documents or large files over to the D drive.)
3.To speed up start up try clicking the start button and going to run, typing msconfig, and then clicking the startup tab. Uncheck anything that you know you dont need at startup i.e(microsoft office and things like that )

Here is an article with more steps for things you can do.

Is your disk-drive getting "close" to being full?
That could cause "slow" file-opening and file-saving actions.

Or, find your original Microsoft CD-ROM for the software, and the matching 25-character license-key.

Then, use Add/Remove Programs to "uninstall" MS Word.

Restart your computer, and reinstall the software, using the CD-ROM and the license-key.

Access "Microsoft Update" to get all the latest fixes & security-patches for MS Word.
