i am running XP home edition
serivce pack to - up to date
i have norton installed along with norton go back {which i know slows down a pc but not this much as it has just started!}
my pc used to run fine, even when running programs like norton, nero, P2P etc etc...
but now when i run, windows media player, WLM BETA
my pc will freeze up and runes VERRRRYYY SLOOOWWWW
it even causes my media player to "skip" when playing songs
my internet browser {firefox or IE} runs slow when i am loading a page
but all of this never used to happen 
and loading aplications takes ages
annnd switching aps. takes a long time - like re-opening my media player to skip tracks and then going back to my WLM convo
hope you know what is wrong...and il post a screenshot of my taskmanager proces list if needed.
cheers!
EDIT: some times it runs fine {like now and for the last 5 mins} but in 10 mins it will slow down again and screw up and i dont know why
