pleaseeeeeeeee help me

With the small amount of information given about your issue - it is
difficult to narrow down the source of the problem and give you the
assistance you desire. If you could provide more information about your
system, that would be fantastic and perhaps provide a clue so that someone
could actually help you.

At this point - everything told to you would be an assumption based off
nothing. You did not tell us anything more than you cannot install SP1
(why SP1?!) and that your computer is getting slower and slower every day.

Nothing about how your computer is a Pentium II 300 with 128MB memory, 16MB
STB Velocity video card, 6.4GB hard disk drive and a power supply you built
yourself out of two old ones you found.

We can assume you are running some version of Windows XP
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/evaluation/compare.mspx), but have no
idea which one.

We aren't entirely sure if you keep the system updated with the latest
patches and how infested it might be with spyware/adware.

We have no idea if you have updated your hardware drivers from the
manufacturers web sites for each of those products in your machine.
Not the ones that are on the http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
site for hardware - but from the actual manufacturer of the hardware
itself.

Please - provide us with more information so it might be easier for those
volunteering their time and knowledge here to help you out of your dilemma.
