Ok my dad has this laptop Easynote E1245..
Its been giving us some grief these past few weeks. It runs Windows XP Home edition Sp2. All drivers are up-to-date.
The problem is that it takes 5mins to get to the welcome screen and then another 2mins to get to the desktop. After that it will take another 5mins to load completely before your able to select anything.. The process "Svchost" is always at 100% Cpu and the HDD is constantly going mad.. Also there are 5-10 Svchost processes running at one time. After i close them all, explorer as a little spaz then its back to normal.. (Sort of, Internet explorer or any program takes a few minutes to load as well)
The laptop has been recently re-formatted but it still goes incredibly slow..
The only programs that run at startup are, Panda Virus and MSN Messenger. I have stopped all other processes from running by using the msconfig.

I have defragged the HDD using O&O Defrag, straight after the installation of XP ..

This has never happened before, although the laptop is about 3 years old. But my dad only needs it for his internet banking, Web surfing, and watching some videos off the network. It only on for like 3 hours every other day.
Any ideas
