If you are still having problems with a fresh install, verify that you have the correct drivers, especially video drivers. Another option is adding more RAM. If it doesn't have at least 1 GB of RAM it will be swapping out an awful lot if you try to run 2 or 3 things at a time.
Pretty much by default, XP is set to best visual experience. You can change that to best performance and it might push you over the edge. I am not on an XP machine right now but you can probably get to those settings by:
Right click on my computer -> Properties -> Advanced System settings -> Performance settings -> Adjust for best performance.
