Hi again Joycehiatt,
Good job on posting your log

The first thing we need to do is get you upgraded to service pack 1. This will help us protect your computer from infection.

You need to install the SP1 service pack.

An unprotected, unpatched Windows XP installation will get infected within minutes of connecting to the Internet. Because of this, we'll require you to do install critical updates before providing assistance in our forums. If not, we're both just wasting our time.

SP2 NOTE: Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) has terrific security features, and we highly recommend everyone install it, however it should not be installed until your system is free from malware. Installing SP2 with malware present can cause many compatibility problems, or even prevent your computer from restarting. If your system has a malware infection, or if you're unsure, use the SP1a download link above.

To install SP1, please go Microsoft's Homepage or directly to the SP1 Link

Please note: do not upgrade to SP2 at this time
Also, can you describe any problems your having with your machine, related to the slow performance.

Thanks
Harry
