run task manager to see what processes are running and if necessary run msconfig to take unwanted programs out

go to start, run, and type in msconfig - go to the services tab, and check the box that says hide all microsoft services, some things in there you do not need running only a virus scanner, so anything else you could remove the check marks, then go to the startup tab, check disable all, and put the check marks back into your anti virus scanner that is it. Run a spyware program and delete any spyware that may be on the system as well.

There could be so many reasons for xp running slow , from new software installed, spyware
viruses, even if your hardware is old, when you say slow be more detailed , is it slow on the Internet ? when programs open ? do you understand where im coming from ?
