Extremely Slow Performance on Laptop

I installed the Desktop edition of SQL Server 7 on my laptop. It is too slow to use. Example, it takes around 30 seconds to from the enterprise manager, just to get the explorer style list on a selected server. From there another 20 seconds will get a list of databases. Litterally every function takes this long and the harddisk is thrashing during the operations. This machine has 192MB of RAM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
"HD Thrashing" in my book always points to an overdue defrag.
