Operating system XP re instal.

I found when you do a fresh instal and then do the updates, before loading any other software, the operating system runs better. In fact I found it ran faster in a big way when I encountered other speed issues with an application.

Rather then do the majority of the updates, you can do them in chunks as necessary. Service Packs One, Two and Three will do the majority of them. Although support has ended you can still download the service packs I think.

windows.microsoft.com

When you system has completely updated, then start adding your applications, or the daughters applications in your friends daughters case.

I suspect her system will run better if it's done that way.

i.e as per PMSW's second recommendation
