That is weird. Your PC should not be consuming that much of the page file. You have 512 Ram. Your processes dont even add up to 1GB.

Thats why i dont understand anything
Also when i think its works good a do right click then i wait like 4 sec
Or even My computer takes a few sec
When i had Xp pro before - the update version man it was so fast , everything was fast , This is a full install win xp pro, works good no problems but its so slow and i dont know why
what can i do in this case cuz i dont know a program i installed might affect this

You could try turning off the windows disk indexing (cidaemon) since it apparently doesn't do any useful work...

(My computer > right click hard drive(s) > properties > Uncheck "allow indexing...")

could be a virus, spyware, or something.
scan for spyware and viruses then download and install hijackthis! and post us the log.

I agree with rossco, that sounds like the only possible option. It is either a virus or trojan. Get Spysweeper, and Adaware by Lavasoft. Also get Spybot: Search and destroy.

Set the pagefile to "system managed size" on a different physical drive to the one that Windows is on, then go to www.blackviper.com and disable any unwanted/unused/risky services such as indexing.
