    well, if hes on a slow computer, XP will only ---- it up more.... you need at least 700mhz in order to run XP smoothly

    It would be quicker to copy your files, reformat and copy them back on.

    lol, 98, aah, *reminisces*...yea, defragging it might work, if not, then try just deleting crap you dont need, and if that fails you...build your own comp and get XP pro SP2 :D
