Answer
Hi Nancy

The error message is related to SigmaTel Audio drivers, so without further information regarding the computer, I will recommend checking for updated audio drivers from your computer manufacturer's support site.  
A slow computer is not necessarily a sign of malware, but I can check that easily enough for you.  Please download HijackThis to your desktop from here:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe
Make sure you close EVERY open window and ALL browser windows. The only thing that should be open is the HijackThis program.
Double-click on the file you just downloaded.
Click on the "Install" button.
Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
Should it not open, go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis and double click on HijackThis.exe
Choose 'Do a system scan and save a log file'.
Copy the text file which opens in Notepad and paste it into your follow-up.
   * Do not fix any entries in HijackThis, as they may be harmless.
