Well, I tried Norton and I had a lot of repairs to make the first run.
but I was still getting a slow performance and "not responding" on everything. so I decided to reload XP.
I erased SP2 and when reloading XP I got something saying that one of my games was hindering the progress. I erased the game and tried again..... it did this numerous times and all the games were EA games. So I erased all my EA games and XP reloaded fine.
The computer is still running slow but I took care of the "not responding" messages. I have a feeling the "Gamespy" that is in EA Games was causing some problems....
Anyway, I'm hoping I truly fixed the problem and didn't just band-aid it and it will happen again. I am debating as to whether or not I should reload any of my EA games again though.
Thanks for the help Rlyss.
