Welcome to Techspot!
Did you try to boot to your repair disk?
You do know to disengage the battery and power chord if you cannot shutdown;( put the CD in the Rom first)
I'd bet you need to clean you HDD of temp files , etc. and defrag. Games overload these limited areas fast.If you can get to safe mode you can do it there.
A win 98 boot cd with dos could also help you clean up .
Let uss know.
 
boot in safe mode, run checkdisk for next boot.
Also you do not have enough RAM for XP. anything less than 512 with XP will run very slow and inefficient.
