One more issue with super slow Computer

A friend of mine has a super slow computer. I have done the following:

With Registry Cleaner and Optimizer, I removed invalid entries
Ran virus scans
Made sure all op system had all updates (XP sc3)
Ran Spybot
Ran Adaware
Ran Avast
Ran Microsoft worm file
In Internet options del all cookies, file & offline files & history
Did a disk clean
Got rid of any temp files
Defragged disk
Del any non- necessary programs from startup manager
&
Have 75% of disk free space
1G memory
&
Ran all error checking under local disk property

Still take like 4 mins to boot & another 4min after you double click anything like windows explorer or Internet explorer.

If there aren't any hardware problems, if possible, it might be easier to reformat and reinstall Windows fresh.

No spyware or virus. Where do I find hijackthis?
