I would perhaps suggest that a Defragmenting the disk is worth doing. Windows XP doesn't do this automatically if I remember rightly, and with my old XP setup, it did seem to improve things to run a defrag from time to time.
However do not defrag if the computer has an SSD-type disk - Windows XP doesn't understand these disks well enough, although Windows 7 and later is smarter.

I regularly run defrag and it works fine. Thanks.Trying to learn something new every day.0 -
After all these posts, I haven't seen the simplest suggestion that may have been missed - check, and empty, your Recycle Bin!0
