PC Computer Weirdness

So, my computer is mega slow. It takes about ten minutes or so for it to boot up to where I can do anything with it like click on Firefox to launch it. And then when I click on it, it takes another two minutes or so for Firefox to start up.

Also, when web pages load, the pics don't load for awhile. I just get the border of the pic and the pic eventually loads but a long time after everything else does.

Any ideas?

BTD helped me the other day clearing out certain start up file thingies and it helped for a bit but not it's slow again.

I did an Ad Aware thing and a Windows Defender thing and an AVG thing and all of them say everything is ok.

ETA: Forgot to mention: I'm running Windows XP and have about 40 GB of space avail.
