Just to say, you should get more RAM. XP uses all of, at least, 128 to run properly, and works better. It slows things down if you have programs starting and running in the background during Startup. Also when you open programs, things are slower if they have to take RAM away from XP. You should have enough RAM (above 128) for each program you run at the same time.
