If you have the original CD that came with your laptop, do the following:
1. save all of your important files on any storage media, like a flash drive or CD or other.
2. insert the original CD in the drive and follow instructions. Keep in mind that a clean install will not do a good (clean) job!

However, before doing that, do a thorough clean up of your drive by following theses steps:

HOW TO DO A THOROUGH CLEAN UP (Windows XP)
While you are connected to the Internet do the following:
1. Click on tools ... Internet options. There you will see three buttons next to each other... "Delete Cookies" ... "Delete Files" and "Settings." Also, below the settings button you will see another one "Clear history."
2. Click on "settings" - go to "Edit" - Click on "select all" - Go to files, click delete and wait till all Internet trash files are gone.
3. Go back and click on "delete cookies" and wait till all cookies are gone
4. Go back and click on "Delete files," put a check mark on the little white square shown on the small window that will open, click OK and wait for a little.
5. Go back and click on "Clear history", click “yes” and you are done.
6. Now do a check disk and a defrag, then restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved.
7. If the problem persists, get on the internet and look in the Yahoo search for the Tune-Up Utilities 2006 site; go to that site and download their free trial program, familiarize your self with it and use it to clean up your registry automatically. It is an excellent little program and does wonders with PC maintenance tasks along many other helpful and useful chores.

Another thing you could do is to go to Add/Remove programs and remove any programs that you do not need.

Something else that you could do (at a cost to you), get a new Win XP CD, ,save your files, format your drive clean, install the new Windows and start from scratch. I found by personal experience that it was the best way to give some new life to an old laptop.

Good luck
