Even on cold boot it takes more than 5 minutes for XP to get

I have tried everything, from defragmenting the HD to "cleaning"
the registry to even defragmenting the registry, and it's STILL so
slow. Software wise, I don't use too many. Just the typical office
thingy, that's all.
What else should I do to speed up my XP machine --- a 4-core CPU
with 4GB of RAM ?
So far, two have advised you to Format and start over with a fresh
install. Let me be the third one. All the other crap will just spin
your wheels.
My view is that that's terrible advice. It *might* be the best thing
to do, but certainly not without having any idea of what's causing
the problem.
It's XP. That's what XP does... get slower and slower.
Maybe in your case...
