it depends. How much ram do you have? When was the last time you reformatted? Have you taken a look at what programs are starting up?
The best thing to do is to just reformat- but obviously this requires you backing your files up and pretty much a day to get it back up and running again. Other alternatives:
If you have <1gb of RAM, that is pushing it for an xp build.
If you run (Start>Run) "msconfig" and press enter, you can alter the programs which start up.
-On the first page, pick "Selective Startup"
-On the Services tab, click the "Hide Microsoft Services" box and with what's left, uncheck the non-essential programs (itunes, quicktime, adobe, etc etc)
-On the Programs tab, do the same as above.
If that doesn't help, a reformat is in your near future.
