This isn't the right place, but a bit of help is always welcome :)
Windows XP, as with most other Windows' has the irritating habit of
pilling up junk in the registry, and other places. My first check is
always to check for viruses - update the virus definitions, and scan the
PC thoroughly, do a scan disk & defrag, and then try a registry repair
tool. Other than that, a re installation is your best bet.
Good luck
