Hello all,

I'm fairly new to the forum(only 1 post) and while not a novice at general PC upkeep, I am with the programs that I've seen you talking about (Hijack This, etc.)
My PC has been slow to boot and slow to load on a lot of programs, runs near 100% when loading a program and recently I have notice a lot of Win 32 Errors popping up. I use Spybot Search and Destroy, but ever since I upgraded IE and reconfigured the security settings, it hasn't been picking anything up. That can either mean that it's not picking anything up because there's nothing there... or that it's just not finding it. I'm voting for the latter. Programs I typically use, but not always have running are iTunes, and City of Heroes (MMO) and Sims 3, all of which are pretty memory intensive. Once running these programs run great, but do have a heavy startup usage.

Basically, my PC runs worse than I would like and would like help from start to finish how to rectify the problems.

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
I run Windows XP, with AMD Athlon 64 3400+(2.2 GHz) and 2.25 gig RAM
