In simplest terms, it is a memory issue. The more programs that are loaded into XP that start on start-up use up more memory. This is true for any version of Windows, but XP is particularly bad about it. The best and quickest solution is to add more memory to the computer. Another cause is if the hard disk hasn't been defragmented in a while. Windows is hard on those. The disk defragmenter that comes with Windows works fine. Defrag your drive at least once a week to keep performance up.
