Does anyone know how to fix a slow laptop

Yes, but... 'fixed' is worst than 'slow', so maybe you should
try to speed it up (attempt improvement) instead?

Listen to it; if there are repetitive sounds coming from the hard
disk drive, a new disk might help. Get a 'live CD' and see if
the software is part of the speed problem. Consider
memory upgrades, or using fewer loaded programs...
