okay, Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
512Mb RAM, 40 Gb HDD, I did a full format, not quick format. Its not spyware, cause it was slow after being formatted. I havent changed any settings, the HDD is one year old, NTFS, Service pack 2
Cheers

Disabled virtual memory? Did you check that? Also, get rid of the cosmetic effects and just the plain old windows. Disable all items on start up. Restart. Still the same, come back, will tell some more.

Did you make sure that your motherboard drivers installed properly? I remember some VIA chipsets that had a problem with XP trying to install both the proper drivers and the generic Windows ones at the same time, and that caused big slowdowns. Fix for that was to update the drivers in device manager. Just a thought!
What motherboard do you have, BTW?

Nop. I'd go for spyware.
I've experienceed it myself.
I browsed some sites looking for *cough*keygens*cough.
After that i noticed that the PC was running Waaaaaaay slow.
So i ran Xoftspy and uninstalled some helper that installed itself (yes, this was a decent spyware. I could uninstall it from the Add/Remove menu
).
Bang!
Problem gone.
Also try BHO Demon 2.0 (uninstall browser helper objects, which stick themselves with IE).
Tip: Use 2/3 spyware removal tools. Each one of them removes spyware that the others can't.
I use: AdAware, Xoftspy (my favourite) and Spybot.

Have u booted it in safe mode to see if the system still runs slow in safe mode ????
if yes and the system runs slow, id say it was a hardware problem rather than a software problem. Also (sorry for being so obvious) try running task manager and check running process and see whats hogging your system memory.
