Looks like you dont have a problem with XP but with the overall setup you have ! A 1GZ Athlon with 256 Ram is close to the bare minimum for working with DVD's -- you are stretching your luck ! You should invest into a faster processor and an extra stick of Ram. Have a look on the web site of your motherboard manufacturer, you can possibly upgrade that processor and add a bit of ram to it. Softwares for DVD burning are heavy on resources -- Also do a clean install of your Windows XP. -- this often works wonders. You didnt say what you had for storage -- if your HD is over 65% full , you can expect some more slowdowns. Time for you to invest , my friend !
thanks for you advice yes my hard disks are full up and my computers old time for an upgrade i supose
