    You don't have to keep Auto Protect on at all times. Disable it when you use a processor hungry program.

    Defrag your hard disk and increase your virtual memory or the size of your swap file, as our friend has suggested above.

    Start MSConfig by pressing WinKey + R, typing MSConfig and pressing enter. Check to see if any unwanted services load during startup, and if so, disable them.

    If you're really in trouble, disable the GUI effects in XP and use the classic theme.
