Hi
My XP machinces are running slower then usual. I intalled XP 6 months
ago and now users are complaining that their machines are working
slower then normal. I reinstalled the Win XP on one of the computer
and this computer is working normally. We have not made any changes
on our network and we have not installed any new software on the
client computers. These machines are completely clean.
How do you know that?
Has any one encoutered this kind of problem?
There are very problems that are unique to a single user. I've never
personally experienced it on any of my XP machines, though.
Does XP become slower over the time?
No.
Do we need to reinstall it after some time?
No.
Secondly, Can anyone recommend good registry cleaner and system
cleaner software to tune up my xp machine?
There is no such thing as a "good registry cleaner" or good "system
cleaner software." Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil.
Cleaning of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the
registry alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many
people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software try to
convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt
you.

Seems MS disagrees..
Microsoft is a company made up of many thousands of different people, with
different skill levels, different strengths, different weaknesses, and
different responsibilities. They certainly don't all have the same views
on everything. Those people with responsibility for marketing of software
may disagree, because their interest is selling you software that does
this, but Mark Russinovich, one of the most respected technical names at
Microsoft, happens to agree that registry cleaners should *not* be used.
I'm not using my home computer at the moment, and don't have a link handy
to the page in which Russinovich talks about this subject, but I hope
someone else here will post it.
