The first thing you need to do is learn to back up your data so you do not
"waste" it and can reload it after a reinstall.

It seems obvious that one or more of the the DOS or DOS related programs is
not compatible with XP and is causing the problem. If they are games that
makes it very likely.

You may have to put up with it, or find which program or programs are the
problem and stop using them or find better replacements for them.

Hi if you are running games especialy old dos games and get this problem you
might be able to fix this with an emulator called "dosbox" if it is old
games that is.
