Download this guide i made, shows you how to speed up XP, how to free up and disable some services you dont need(frees up ram) and also how to improve the overall performance of XP. Download HERE Also, go to Start Button, Run and type in msconfig and disable any services running upon boot up. Also go to these registry entries to stop servies from loading also. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Some programs also allow to disable upon start up. Disable some of em also if you have any. ONly thing you need really is the AV scanner running upon boot. Anyway, hope this helps. EDIT. Post has been edited
