Um, don't know.  Try some more different diagnostic things and post the
results here, then maybe something will occur to someone.  For example

* Boot to DOS (may need a Start-up disk).  Do things run OK?
* Boot in safe mode - how now?
* Go through the step-by-step boot, taking one more item each
  time then "No"-ing the rest ... does any one step make the whole
  go slower than before?
* How much memory does the "System" applet in Control Panel say is
  installed?  256KB, maybe :-)
* Also in the "System" applet go to "Performance".  Anything set 
  wrong here (I guess not, if Windows has been reinstalled, but
  you never know).
* What's the defragmentation status of the hard drive(s)?

And, most important of all, WHAT HAD THEY DONE TO IT THE DAY IT SLOWED
TO A CRAWL?   Make no mistake, someone's been "at" it!
