This laptop just runs so slowly, it takes forvever to load anything, it even struggles to play youtube videos, even as I'm typing this, the text isn't appearing as I type it instantly. It not a case of the laptop being "cluttered" I have formatted it several times, even ran a shreeder on the HDD. Here is the spec, I'm sure it is fully capable of running xp smoothly:

Compaq Presario 1500
Windows XP Home Edition
ATI Radeon IGP 340M 64MB
Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
Originally 256MB of RAM but I upgraded it to 1024MB and this didn't speed it up
30GB HDD

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Is it possibly a HDD problem in which case I'll get a new one?
