Before you start on these, try to backup any important files. Everything should be ok, but since you are having an issue somewhere, try to backup and least the important stuff!

I’m going to list a number of thoughts and actions, this list is pretty good so I'M GOING TO SAVE IT FOR OTHER PEOPLE! THANKS!. Realize tou triggered making this from all my scraps laying around. Hope it helps!

Virus:
Make sure your virus scanner is up to date and scan the whole C: drive. If yours needs to be renewed, You can replace it with AVG or AVAST for free. Also run the free one-time web scan from Trend at http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/free_security_tools/housecall_free_scan.php
Reboot & see if faster
**Sometimes you need to turn off System Recovery to get rid of some viruses***

Cleanup:
Run "Disk Cleanup" in Accessories, System Tools (do NOT compress the computer). (Note: CCLEANER program listed below can also clean out these files.)
Reboot & see if faster

Spyware:
Download and install Microsoft Defender to kill and prevent most spyware programs. Also download, then update, and run SPYBOT (available at download.com).
Reboot & see if faster

Indexer:
Right click on the C: drive, Properties, and unselect the Indexer. Ignore any messages.
Reboot & see if faster

Registry:
Download and run CCLEANER
Let it fix what's wrong and clean things up.
Reboot & see if faster

Programs Autostarting:
There should be very few programs running down near the clock. If you have a bunch, try to go into the respective programs and not have them run when Windows starts, programs like Messenger.
You can Start, Run, MSCONFIG and uncheck all but your virus Scanner and Spyware program to see if that helps. If it does, recheck them, edit the Registry and remove them from the Local Computer RUN section. (If you don't know how, don't do this part, and don't edit the registry!)

Memory:
How much memory do you have? Run the memory selector tools at: http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/ to see if you can handle more memory. You can use up to 2gb of RAM.

Defrag:
Kind of overdone. You should do it every 4 to 6 months.
Reboot & see if faster

Drive Fitness:
If your hard drive is failing, your computer can run very slow. Download Drive Fitness Test (DFT) from: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm and see if your drive is failing. If your drive is failing, I suggest replacing it with a new drive that is fast (like 7200rpm) and has a large cache (like 16mb). You can try to clone the drive (if it’s set up perfectly to your liking) with Acronis (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/choose-trueimage/)/ Hopefully your new drive will come with a cloning software.

If you want to start clean (I do this sometimes), replace the old drive with the new one. Boot from your XP CD, delete all partitions, and then let it format in NTFS and install.

PC Health:
Run the free test provided at http://www.pcpitstop.com/safe.asp and it will check the health of your overall computer.

Internet Speed:
Set your Temporary Files to delete on every exit by Internet Explorer Propterties, Advanced tab, and close to the bottom, check the ‘Empty Temporary Internet files folder when browser is closed’.


That’s about everything I’ve ever done to repair my PC to make it work faster. Hopefully, something in here fixes your problem.

***If you find the problem, please email me. Since I made the list for you, I'd like to know if it worked or if you found a different problem***
Good Luck,
Jim

Look do what I am telling if you wish & thank me if you get what you want. Do the following thing on your pc regularly.First of all
To increase your virtual memory or page file size open control panel double click system foldes on opening page click advanced than chek before Adjust for best performance & click apply(it will take a while). Than click advanced in coming window you will find virtual memory click setting. Select drive on which you want your virtual memory to be. then click custom and change the Page file size or virtual memory size by typing.
Initial size should be 1024 MB at least & max size should be not less than 2048 MB.
1. Search for temp files( In search box type *.tmp) click search. Delete all files that appears after search.
2. Than as above type *.log & do the same.
3. Search Temp folder Delete all it's content.
4. Search Temprory Internet Files & delete it's content.
5. Run updated Antivirus & Anti spyware.
6. Run disk cleanup from system tools in accessories.
7. Than defragment your drives twice from system tools Defrag.
8. From run type msconfig > enter > click on startup un check all checked field except of antivirus & anti spyware. Choose & click services, Check beside hide all MS Services. In remaining list uncheck all except Anti virus & Anti spyware services click apply click ok you will asked to restart click restart. You are almost done.
This will make your system considerably faster but one very essential action has to be taken and that is cleaning Registry which is the main reason of sluggis system. Dowload
WIN XP Manager or tuneup utilities install & clean. Try with win xp manager,s 1 click cleaner. You can download it from
www.softarchive.net. It requires dotnet fx so you will have to download it also. First you will have to install dotnet fx. It is free & you can get it from site of microsoft. Your PC will become as fast as it was when new or a bit better.

Hmmm.... your browser cache might be kinda full, that could slow it down. Try clearing it and settings its max to around 100-200 MB. Also, try defragmenting your hard drive.

Some virus protection or anti virus programs can slow your computer down.
