Do the following thing on your PC.
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 comand. 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.

Keep your computer clean of spyware and viruses.
I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com/ and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.
Use Disk Cleanup
Use Defrag
From RUN, use MSCONFIG and go to the startup section. Then uncheck startup programs that you don't need.
You might need more RAM. If you have less than 512MB then get MORE. Visit http://www.coastmemory.com/ and look up your system
Good luck and Happy Computing!

you need more spaces in your harddisk
and you need more RAM to buy.
Hint: delete unnecessary files from your harddisk
such as games, temp files
