I recently re-formatted my hard drive,reloaded Windows XP Home

I only have AVG Anti Virus and the regular Windows Defender and
Firewall running.I have a few not many programs installed and 101 GB
of FREE Space out of 110. GB on my Hard drive. My Processor is Intel
Pentium 4 CPU 2.53GHz 512MB PC1066 RDRAM (2x 256 modules)
However, Every time I try to open or close a program it takes quite
awhile. It was never like this before-
Anyone have any suggestions besides getting a more up to date
computer? It is a Dell 8250 bought in 2003.
Does the slowness occur when you try to start in Safe mode?
In safe mode without networking?
Sometimes the system is delayed in starting because it's waiting on a
response from a network machine that it can't reach.
