You just cant do more than one thing at a time with xp, ive always put it down to the fact that the hardware hasnt been up to much in the past but its not, it was running fine with vista stuck xp on it updated all the drivers and its just rubbish, its not untill you use vista or 7 for a while then reinstall xp you realise how bad it is.
