Here's a very good chart to check the background 'services' used in Windows XP.

You can use it for reference to disable services you don't need, if you like, but be cautious about doing so. Have a thorough read of the article first!

Also, try running a Virus scanner, Make sure you dont have any spyware running. Also, make sure you dont have so many programs in your start up folder, and dont make alot of programs start up when u turn on your computer
