Hi, Glennda.
If it were my system, I probably would set aside a half-day and do an
"in-place upgrade", as described here:
How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade (Reinstallation) of Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q315341
This will reinstall WinXP itself from scratch, but will preserve your
installed applications and data - and some of your tweaks. This restores
WinXP to its just-installed state, so as soon as Setup finishes, make sure
the firewall and antivirus are working, then visit Windows Update to get the
latest Service Pack (if it isn't already on your CD) and later updates
installed again. Be sure to get ALL the Critical Updates. Read the
instructions for the optional updates; you probably want most of them, too.
No, all this isn't strictly necessary. But your system probably will run
much better for it. Well worth a half-day investment of your time.
