hey i tryed those and still nothing, could it be something wrong with the laptop itself and not a program or such causing it to run slow, like something was split on the table and the laptop was sitting on it?

clean your prefetch folder GO START...CLICK RUN...TYPE IN... prefetch ...CLICK OK..EDIT..SELECT ALL ..ON ANY BLUE FILE RIGHT CLICK THEN DELETE.............go to your tools menu at the top of your page select internet options delete cookies... delete files including offline put check mark click ok then close by clicking apply then ok.....go start..... all programs....accesseries...system tools....disk defragmenter.....just defragment ......
when your done that do this
go start right click on my computer and open it .....on c drive right click and click on properties select tools then click on check now make sure both boxes are checked then click start
if a black pop appears dont be alarmed you should see a flashing white bar ..type the letter y for yes hit enter reboot
let this proccess go through 5 stages
Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD and Windows File Protection will show a blue onscreen progress bar, when the bar goes, reboot
all of this will eliminate problems and fix some if your still having problems we will look at other options
