Kindly provide some details like the operating system (version, 32/64 bit), the name of programs with which you are facing problem. And most importantly, what you have tried (i.e. the meaning of everything).
These all details will help to recognize the problem. The more details you provide, the more accurate answer you will receive.

for xp start menu speed up:
The default speed of the Start Menu is slow, but you can fix that by editing a Registry Key. Start->Run regedt32 and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop \ MenuShowDelay
By default, the value is 400. Change this to a smaller value, such as 0, to speed it up.
If the speed of the Start Menu is slow, even after using the FAQ above, then you might try the following: Navigate to Display Properties> then Appearance then Effects and turn off the option titled Show menu shadow. You will get much better overall performance on your system.
