Hi. I have a computer system:

P4 2.6Ghz 533FSB CPU
PC Chips Mobo
512Mb PC2100 RAM
80Gb Maxtor 7200 RPM HD
Windows XP installed
Direct X 9.0b
52x CD-RW Drive
Floppy Drive
56K Modem

I have a boot problem with this computer. I built it with new components. The computer was operating fine until my friend (the person who owns it now) installed some apps (Kazaa, PalTalk, ...) and now the computer boots very slow. Whenver Windows finally comes up, operating it is slow also. It sounds like there is an app on boot up causing it to struggle. Is there some way I can pinpoint this app an delete it? What is the best way to fix this situation. Thanks!

P.S. I had an anti-virus running since the beginning, so I know it is not a virus.
