Ok my laptop is even worse today. It's going so slow I can't do anything.
It won't even play a video clip off my hard drive. It's mentioned that there's a problem with a plugin.

With nothing open the task manager says there's 90 processes running! Wtf? That's heaps right!?

sure is, a fair few, my lappy is only currently running 60................... how many programs did you untick from the start up menu? Are you running Norton 360? If so you can use it to do a registry cleanup too

Sorry I haven't been reporting back here lucas, been away from home since my last post.
Sounds like something is bottlenecking the PC. As per Clunk's comment I really hope you are not running anything norton, as more often than not, it is the culprit. Once it get a hold of your system, it spreads it's roots everywhere and it's game over.
If you're running Windows 7, then microsoft security essentials is the best thing out there at the moment, and it's FREE.

How old is the laptop by the way ?? There could be a mirriad of issues at hand. Corrupt drive sectors, hard drive fatigue (age) just to name a few...
