Check how many processes are running and which one is eating lot of your system… And close all the unnecessory applications

Did you install it from a recovery CD? Coz most of the times a recovery CD comes with lots of usless stuff.

HI again no i installed it straight from a normal xp professional disk

cheers Dave

I’m not quite sure what to suggest here…hmm maybe go though a windows update, there might be a update/fix which might help? I think quite possibly there might be driver compatibility issues?

Then again it could be something very simple keep us updated dude.
