Issue with Vista and Photoshop

About a year ago I bought a laptop, Compaq CQ60, running Vista and it was running just fine. I installed Photoshop Elements on it continued to run okay. Lately it appears to be slowing down.

I looked and the CPU usage is at 100% with only PSE running. The task menu shows that explorer.exe is using up all the CPU resources.

I have scanned it for malware (malware bytes) and defraged the hard drive.

Any suggestions what I show look into next?

Thanks.

If you boot up your pc and let it sit for 10 t0 15 minutes and then look in task manager - is explorer still running wild?

Yes, it is. I have done everything that I can think of. These steps usually work on my XP machines. But, this is Vista which I am not that familiar with.
