Why is my comp is slower than usual?

I installed Flyakite OsX. It made my comp slow so I uninstalled it and restored my system to before I installed it.
But after doing that also my comp is a bit slower than usual.
My startup took exactly 1 minute but now it takes about 2 minutes.
I ran CCleaner, Window Washer, Uninstalled Flyakite, and cleaned my registry with different software.
What can I do to restore my original speed without messing around on msconfig(already did that) ?

Hi, can someone please help me? My computer crashed. It says "Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area STOP: 0x00000050 (0x8872A990, 0x00000001, 0x804F35D7, 0x00000000)"

It also says "pxfsf.sys Address F75202120 Base At F74FD000, Date Stamp 4565861"

I cannot get into safe mode either. And I've tried getting into safe with command prompt and networking, and I've tried VGA mode, and all other options. When I try to get into safe mode, a screen comes up that shuts the computer immediately that says "Windows must now restart because the DCOM Server Process Launcher Service terminated". What does this mean?

I can still access my other operating system though. Is there a way for me to fix the main operating system through the side operating system? Or does someone know how to fix the problem that's going on in the Safe Mode?

I don't know what happened, and the computer was fine. I'm at my wits end here, and I would really appreciate any help or insight as to what's going on here

I had a CD-RW and added a DVD burner. I decided to remove the four DVD burner programs I had on the PC and install a new one. It didn't work, and now my old one's won't either re-install or work. I saw a note that XP does not like having two burners on the same PC. True? I need some serious nerd advice.

I've recently installed a "nvidia" graffic card and noticed that my pc has lost the picture quality when I play my videos.

I haven't tried to play any game yet but just noticed that when playing videos... The video is so dull and poor that you can't see things properly.

What do I do to get rid of this problem?

Thank You in Advance!!!

Will it just go back to the old Internet Explorer, or what? I am really not very informed about computers, I can just do the basics. I realized that since I downloaded Explorer 7 my computer is extremely slow and freezes frequently. Thanks.
