but im having loads of problams with my usb hardware
and my programs keep crashing and not responding

Looks like you dont have a problem with XP but with the overall setup you have !

A 1GZ Athlon with 256 Ram is close to the bare minimum for working with DVD's -- you are stretching your luck ! You should invest into a faster processor and an extra stick of Ram. Have a look on the web site of your motherboard manufacturer, you can possibly upgrade that processor and add a bit of ram to it.

Softwares for DVD burning are heavy on resources --

Also do a clean install of your Windows XP. -- this often works wonders.

You didnt say what you had for storage -- if your HD is over 65% full , you can expect some more slowdowns.

Time for you to invest , my friend !
