Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

i downloaded sp2 and now my pc is as slow as molasses. while trying to
install sp2 my pc crashed. I reinstalled windows BUT its so slow and i have
soooooo many freeze ups. Its a headache to get on my computer any more, much
less "surf the web" Any ideas??. I do the disk clean up and defrag and run
adaware, but no help.
