Once I reinstalled XP and had no programs installed it was
very quick. After loading about 5 programs and peripheral
drivers it runs alot slower. Programs installed include
(Easy CD Creator 5, Kaaza, WinMX, Office XP) and drivers
for my printer and scanner were installed. Now when the
PC starts up the hard drive consistently works for about 5
minutes or so. I have disabled everything at start up via
(MSCONFIG) and it still loads up slowly. I must wait
minutes before opening a program.

I am using a PIII 933 processor on 650 MB SDRAM so
hardware shouldn't be an issue. What could the problem
be. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I
also did a virus check with nothing detected.

Regards, Tim.

Very likely you have installed a bunch of spyware with Kazaa.
