with a clean boot,

then I would begin tracking
down the issue if the clean
boot didn't resolve the problem
to begin with.

the repair install would
have replaced any missing
or corrupted "system" files
on the hard disk with genuine
ones from the cd.

so the issue you are having
must be related to a third party
program.

Duplicate Registry Entries

if you feel a need to
reconcile the registry
keys to the file system

then you might try a
freeware called eusing.

btw: make a system
restore point before
you do the above.

The HP with XP-SP2 has extremely poor performance.

you might try booting
into safe mode and
see if system performance
is better.

if so, then it is likely that
third party drivers of
software are causing
the problem you have.

if the disk already has

you can simply convert
