Finally got it working normally again. I did replace the battery but it didn't change anything. So I decided to check out the power supply and found that the -5 was dead. Replaced the power supply. Still slow. So then I ran CCleaner to clean the Registry. It found about 150 errors which I let it clean out. Rebooted and WOW it works. I was starting to think the power issue might have damaged the CPU but everything cleared up. I should get a new battery for myself. These were simple things I should have tried before!
Thanks for the help.
