Is there anything else running on the machine that might have used up a bunch of memory or CPU (check in your Task Manager - see how much free memory you have). Queries will run much faster if the data is cached in memory. If some other process has requested and received most of the memory in your machine, then all the data has to be read from disk.
What type of tables? Have you recently added a bunch of data to your tables? Have you tried analyzing them to get the statistics etc back in line with reality? What about a reboot? Win2k is not a great platform for MySQL - I believe it runs under Cygwin, which adds overhead.
