Either PC should be beefy enough -- and your "good" one is far and
away the slower of the two computers. So, your two potential problem
sources could be:

* Hardware -- it's possible something like a failing hard drive could
cause this.
* Software -- maybe something is janked up with your Windows install.
Or a virus scanner is running amok. Or a virus. Or your drivers are
screwy.

If your computer came with a diagnostics disk, run diagnostics and fix
any problems reported. If not, your easiest course of action is
probably to reformat and reload Windows.

Or, if you have a little bit of money and need it working really soon,
buy the cheapest PC you can find and run the task on that. Newegg.com
lists refurbished computers starting at $110 and a bunch of new stuff
in the $200 range.

Good luck,
-Nate
