Hi Melissa M & welcome to Poco Forums,

I want to reinstall Windows Xp soon, as I got a virus and after cleaning the computer doesn't work as smooth as before.

My guess not everything got removed when you got that infection.

To make sure nothing got overlooked, you could post an Hijackthis log at one of the dedicated forums, like CastleCops, SpywareInfo or TomCoyote, ...
Please read the instructions on their site prior to posting a log.
Those experts will make sure you're computer is clean again and they do it voluntarily.

Hope that helps, although I can't provide more support for OE, since I've never used it.
