My start-bar freezes with XP ?

Arg i'm going crazy.. I just formatted in the weekend, and I installed XP again.. before the format it was working just fine.

Now, sometimes when I'm browsing my harddrives, it suddenly slows down, and it takes 20 seconds to open a directory, or to
run a new program.

Other times, my start-bar will freeze, I can still alt+tab between the programs, but I can't use the start-bar
at all, and my windows-key doesn't work either.

When I press ctrl+ált+delete, my CPU usage is at 100%, with explorer.exe taking up 99% - I then close down explorer.exe,
and run it again, and everything is fine again....

How do I fix this? I have installed the 4.37 VIA 4in1 fix, it didn't help :(
