Windows seems slow recently, sound stutters etc.

I don't know what has happened but it is running like a dog.
It takes longer to boot up seemingly.
It seems to other performance probs too, the mouse pointer is 'sticky'
and it stutters playing music, or maybe video but it is very noticable on
sound.
Even when the cpu is 'idle' supposedly. There seems to be a mismatch between
the cpu usage bar in the system tray and the cpu in task manager, but that
my be
due to delays betwen the two perhaps.

I have been mesing about with it recently, I installed ubuntu to my second
drive.
I aslo took the page file off that drive, but I have put it back now - not
difference,
does it need a reboot to take effect?

I also opened the multi channel sound manager, I have never used that before
but was curious, I don't recall making any changes.

I also installed the latest AVG free, I have the link scanner diabled now.
I killed off most/all of the avg stuff and that seemed to make no
difference.

I had also been transfering data off another drive by putting it on as
slave,
I got the jumper setting wrong a few times resulting in error, and no boot,
but when I got the setting right it was OK.

One of the drives I tried was dead previously in another machine, I tried
in this this one to see it it was justthe other machine it would not work
in.
(it seems a gonna).

I also put in a network card (ethernet 10/100) which I thought was
dead, it didn't seem to show up in device manager so I took it out.

Another thing I did was to change my conection from the computer to
cable modem from USB to ethernet port.

Some of this involved using the network set up wizard.

This always seems to finish with an error (unspecified)

Any ideas chaps?

Could be a lot of red herrings there, I will try and undo a lot of the
'stuff'
I have done.

It's not too bad really but music sounds bad with stuttering, so noticable.

Any ideas diognostics?

Windows XP SP2 on sempron 3000 1.2 gig ram, 80 and 250 gig drives
25 and 85 gig free respectively.
