See what's running by selecting Ctrl-Alt-Delete.Exit all applications except Explorer, then run Sound Forge.

Video cards have been known to cause performance problems with audio applications. Also, make sure DMA is enabled on your hard drives. I think audio software should actually check to see if DMA is enabled on your record drive, and if not give you a prompt to try and enable it. Enabling the DMA usually doubles the performance level, and on a 400Mhz system, you might be running into performance issues.
