My computer is not running properly any more. It runs deathly slow when it finally reaches windows. However I have no icons on my wallpaper, nor any options, all I can do is ctrl + alt + del. I try "New Task" and closing open processes, but nothing executes. I don't have my xp pro cd but i have an xp home edition cd, should i install xp home? or can i fix my system

GRRRR what is wrong with my pc?
