What are some tips to speed up windows XP?

I already did spyware and adware removal programs and they didnt help, my PC is still acting really slow.. what are some things i can do to help speed it up other than disk defrag, spyware scans, and removing unnecessary programs?

The majority of the suggestions you have received are correct. Probably the best thing you can do for yourself is to find out how much RAM (motherboard memory) your machine can hold and maximize it. Since the introduction of WinME, this OS has become a memory hog and will slow down if it doesn't have enough. When you are checking on the maximum memory, ensure you see if there are two different types or speeds of memory available. Make sure if you use multiple sticks, use the SAME MEMORY AND SAME SPEED. Otherwise, this will not increase your speed to the maximum you could receive.

Good luck,

Defrag

Repair and compact registry

Uninstall unnecessary apps

Scan for and remove temp files, etc.

Disable programs that are not necessary at startup

A slew of apps can do this for you... Tuneup Utilities is a good one.

NONE of the answer so far will help you notice any improvement...this is what you have to do...1) right click on my computer, click "properties" 2) select the "advanced" tab, then click the first "settings" button 3) now click that "advanced" tab, and click "change" 4) select the "custom size" bubble, and type the recommended value in both boxes (you can find the recommended value at the bottom where it says "Recommended" then it gives a value in MB's) 5)click OK on all the boxes that are open, and say "yes" when it asks you to reboot
