Sudden Sluggish Computer and Static/Pop Audio

[Jason]

All of a sudden, my computer (2.53 ghz, 1 gig of ram....xp
pro....maxxed out)....has gotten EXTREMELY sluggish. It
takes about 15 minutes to start up, and it takes programs
minutes to open up.

When playing back audio, it sounds really staticy/poppy.

What do I do?

Hello

you have runnig in the background.
