when was xp installed? it might be time to reformat and reinstall it. you can find the installation date by opening a command prompt and typing "systeminfo". look for "original install date".

also, how much ram do you have?

how many background programs are you running?

how many programs do you have set to run at startup?

How often do you scan your comp for virus' and spyware?
When was the last time you defragged your system?

What Virus Software do you use???
What Spyware/Adware Software do you use???
Do you have Toolbars other that Windows...eg Google/Ask etc...look in your Add/Remove Programs

I scan my comp once a week for Spyware/virus' (I use SpywareBlaster/Spybot S & D and AVG Free v8)
I defrag 1-2 times a week aslo...(I use Diskeeper 7 so it usually takes about 45secs to 1 min to Defrag)
I also use System Mechanic Pro once a week.

And the best way to keep your comp running slow is to stay away from PORN Sites and Warez Sites
