installation slow and freezes

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

Hey, I hate to say it, But if you are having all these problems,, Just do a
format and do a full clean install. Wipe it clean and do it again. One more
thing, if its a store bought computer, Don't use all there junk to install it
back. Put the XP disk in and let it format and install the OS and then
install the drivers if need. Good luck
