    well you should post your spec's... my first thing that comes to mind is.. sp3... well I normally say run at least 1.5 gb of ram.. if ur running 512 , it's no where near enough

    also when was the last time you defragg'd the drive(s)

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

    give ya pc the once over with the cleaner + registry tab

    thats a start anyway

    Also check the amount of free drive space (on your boot/OS drive) and empty your trashcan etc.

    Maybe also check in device manager to see if your drive mode is still DMA, or has been switched back to PIO mode - maybe SP3 flagged your drive as having too many errors - this does happen.

    It's not the latest system, I take it. RAM could also be a problem, indeed.

    I'm a perfectionist, and perfect is a skinned knee.

    Upgrading a laptop running xp from service pack one ,two, to service pack 3,is a big nightmare.
    You might as well buy a new hard drive and start new ,and use your other hard drive for back-up.
    When you load the winxp on the new drive,make sure it already includes service pack 3.
