Honest... my XP doesn't work that well. I have to end process repeatedly and wait 5 minutes for the process to be dumped... and single non-responsive applications are always hanging other apps.


I'd vote for faulty hardware (disk, memory, etc). Have a look at your Windows Event Log (Start/Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer) and check for any errors listed there.

Another possibility is malware or an incomplete uninstall of security software - in these cases a Windows reinstall would be the best option.
