My laptop running XP SP3 is super slow.

Just re install the OS and before installing format the drive containing previous version of Windows. After re installation of OS install an antivirus program for data and for internet as well, i mean internet security.

Johhny I appreciate the advice but that's my last resort. As anyone has ever done this it is time consuming. I have a ton of software and files and that will take me days.

I would rather use "johnb35" advice and try to fix the problem 1st.

Please answer these questions:

When your computer runs slow while you are doing something,is HDD led lighting all the time even though it's not supposed to light (read/write operations) so much for a small task that you are trying to perform such as loading a single WEB page?

How big is your PF usage while your computer runs slow?

Do you hear any loud / strange noises from your computer (reffering to the hard disk drive hardware) while your computer runs slow?

Ok, the HDD led is NOT on all the time.

My Page File is 736MB when just Outlook and 1 session & 5 tabs are open in IE8

No strange noises of any kind.

What is your CPU's temperature? Coretemp is a good program to see this.

Test your HDD and RAM?

Your PF usage is WAAAAY high.Please go to the PROCESSES tab and look under MEM USAGE which process is using so much RAM memory and give us the name of the process.

By the way try closing all background (if any) and all foreground programs.Because some of them might be using your RAM memory a LOT and that causes PF to go hugh and high PF causes the system to work like crap lol.
By the way some programs (which we all call viruses mostly lol) are hidden and use RAM memory a LOT on purpose for no reason and that causes high PF so be sure to go to the PROCESSES tab and look under MEM USAGE which process is using so much RAM memory and give us the name of the process like I already said above.

And like I said in my previous port,give us the temperatures.
