Did the slowdown happen suddenly or just over a period of time? If it happened over a period of time, Joe's last diagnosis is probably the problem/solution.

You might check your firewall / anti-virus setup. I ran ZoneAlarm and AVG for years on my XP OS with no problems. Back in January or so AVG released a new version. After loading it the machine was so slow it was unusable. Seems there was a serious conflict between ZoneAlarm and the new AVG. I downloaded AVAST for my anti-virus, uninstalled AVG and all is well again.
