everything runs so slowly

I have just completed a reinstall of win xp home because my oe and a few
other applications would not initialize and everything runs so slowly.

Its not as though I dont have enough resources, I have 512mb DDRAM on a
athlon xp 2000+ 30gb hdd (20gb free) and an nvidia tnt grahics card AS Rock
Mobo.

I do not have any bugs, viruses,spyware,trojans etc etc.

The machine has been scanned with adaware, Norton AV 2004, Spyware blaster,

IE6 SP1 is loaded with all the updates including the blaster worm patch

I have run Bootvis to try and get the boot times faster (at present it takes
about 10 mins to boot from login screen to desktop).

I have office 2003 installed and the applications take forever to load.

I have run defragmenter and seem to have a large number of file fragments
( indicated by a large red band ) I thought that disk defragmenter found
these fragments and mended them but instead it just brings them all together
in one area of the disk.

Please can anyone help?

If you ran bootvis, you should know what causes the slow boot. I suggest you work from there.
