Hi lmrob, Refer the below link and follow the steps mentioned, check if it resolves the concern: Windows XP may run slowly and you may see multiple symptoms in Windows Task Manager:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899869 Using Indexing Service:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/snap_idx_srv_mgmt.mspx?mfr=true Note: Turning off the Indexing Service will slow searches of the computer.
