I have a Targa Computer Version 2002 from Lidl with MS Windows XP Home Edition with service Pack 3.
Hergestellt und unterstützt: Targa GmbH AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+1.83 GHz,224 MB RAM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerly,Valentin Hallinan.

I agree with Dirk's statement - I would re-install first, and if this machine proves to be as sluggish as before, I would look out for something new. These symptoms are rather unlikely the result of fragmentation or a stuffed autostart folder.
A 2002 machine does not necessarily have to be such lousy performer - I still have got one, now running Ubuntu - however, 256 meg of RAM (I suppose the graphics steal away another 32 meg) is really poor for Windows XP. On the other hand, installing more memory or any other upgrade option is not such a good idea with a computer having its 10th anniversary next year.
