Running windows XP, after about 5 minutes of computer booting programs won't open, or open much much delayed, sometimes hours later. After this time the computer won't shut down by conventional means either. Any ideas?

How old is the computer?
If it is rather old it could be time to get a new computer or upgrade hardware. If you haven't ran a malware/virus scanner (if possible) then I would suggest you do. It's certainly not normal for a computer to take that long to boot up or to load programs. Good luck.
already ran scans, and its just my secondary computer for web/aim/vent, so really i just need it to open those. its just annoying cause firefox crashes randomly on new version and i can only get it to reopen by rebooting now
