Windows XP - restore factory settings

[Jemajo]

I have windows xp which i purchased in December 2002. The computer which is
an Acer make is going terribly slow, sometimes it takes about an hour even to
sign on. I would like to restore computer to factory settings. I have
three discs here which came with computer one is called resource - cd - the
other two are recovery cd 1 and 2. Can anyone point me in the right
direction with what to do here. Thanks in advance.

You can use the recovery disks to return the computer to the condition when
purchased - keep in mind that all programs installed since purchase are
lost - data may or not be lost.

If you have the XP CD available consider doing a repair -do you routinely
do: 1. Disk cleanup, @; Clear temp folders (Run>%temp%) and 3.
Defragmentation.

Check "Help and Support" (On your computer) for further info.
