I think the key to his problems is that the slowdown occured when he upgraded to XP, most likely from Win 98.
I would look at loading XP specific drivers for his sound & graphics. Perhaps his hard drive virtual memory also. Like others have mentioned in other threads- I would avoid XP service pack 2. It seriously affected my computer!
