That's perfect. Click on each problem on that page for possible solutions. You look like you have way too much junk loaded and running. Most of those items such as both Realplayer entries, office startup (makes Office start faster) and several others are nothing but resource hogs. You only have 18% free space on that drive so you need to get rid of the junk programs you never use. Click on all the links under Customized Tune-up Tips on the page you posted and read the info about your machine. Your machine is marginally good enough to run XP but you can get it running much better than it's doing at the moment. Go to pestscan.com and run the online pest scanner. It won't remove the pests it finds but it will tell you about them. Write the exact info down and if you can't wipe them out, post them here and we'll try to help. Finding out what all this stuff is will take some time and effort. When you do as much as you can, run the pcpitstop tests again and post the results.
