re: Speed up general operation of XP Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 2:21 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (7549 messages posted) A few things to add to the excellent responses you already have: 1. Run it in Safe Mode. If its back to "lightning speed" then the main issue is bloat (additional programs and services running at startup time). If not then you may have some hardware issues (eg overheating). 2. In the circumstances the format/reinstall Windows approach may well be appropriate. After you do this, put the OS on to a partition on its own. Then take an image with Acronis and you can then return to this pristine OS state whenever you like without disturbing your data.
