iView catlog slow

At first iView worked fast with me, now, it just lags to the point where I dont want to catalog anything anymore. It has become slow. My catalog is set to 160 preview low quality. I have 9,000 images in my 114mb catalog. I dont know why it would just randomly slow down its normal working pace. Any advice on how to get the program running at normal speed would be greatly appreciated. I'm out of ideas.
Thanks,
Marley

Can you give us some information on your setup, platform, CPU, memory, free space on HD, system version, location of the image files, etc.?

I have 2 drives, program drive 60gb with 50gb left. Storage drive 500gb with 150gb left. I am running Win XP service pack 3, 3.4 ghz intel IV. 2gb of memory. I defrag constantly, check for updates, everything on the computer still runs how it should and at the speed it should. Even with small 5 image catlogs it still runs slow. I desperately need to figure this out. I cant work seriously until I do. Anyother information missing will be provided if asked, dont know what else you might need. Virtual memory is set up to allow the computer to choose. uhm....????
Thanks for your interest and any help that may come from it.

As you can see I'm on the Mac platform and have absolutely no experience on PCs. There are others here that are very, very experienced and will surely pop in to help out.
