Computer operating system re-installing?please help!!!?

please read this whole thing. i beg of you.

last week i used a pen drive and from then onwards my pc became insanely slow. these are the things that happened and are troubling me. please read them.

1. pc became too slow. it takes about 15 minutes to start and infinite amount of time to shut down.
2. even a small program like paint takes about a minute to open.
3. google chrome doesn't work. mozilla takes a long time to open. somehow i am able to type this in mozilla.
4.i lost my task manager. i am getting "disabled by administrator".
5. i have also lost my registry key window. i am getting the same window.
6. i've read about how to get them back. i tried windows group policy but that doesn't work
7. i tried system restore, but too bad the check point isn't available. above all system restore is greyed out.
8. i've tried opening in safe mode and doing a restore but that doesn't work.
9. at last i've decided to format whole of my pc.
10. also in about a day i got about 1000 temp files and there is no way that i can delete them.
so i downloaded a iso format windows xp file of the internet. and then burned it in another computer and brought it and used it in mine. i've seen youtube tutorials on it,. but i am not sure why the cd is not running in my computer. i've tried it in other computers. it works fine. probably i am unable to make a bootable disk. or probably my cd/dvd rom is faulty.

so now what do i do? i dont know how to get my pc formatted with these circumstances. yes i do have a pen drive. so can i use it and make it a bootbale usb and use it to do this job. please help. don't give me links to sites like youtube coz they are taking about 10-15 minutes to open alone and yet another 5 minutes to buffer. please type it or at least paste the stuff. i am in a dire need. i know i have so many mistakes in the above said description but i can';t go back and correct them coz this pc is toot slow.

it could possible that you have not set your dvd/rom as your fist boot device
try this by entring your bios set up by pressing del/f2/f10 key then go to boot tab set dvd/rw as fist boot devic...
then try if it not worked
then try bootable pendrive

    let me begin by saying sorry to hear about your computer im a vista w7 user but hopefully i can get you in right direction .. i agree since there isn't a restore point old enough and damage is extensive format is desirable let me remind you there are 2 ways to use disk 1 insert in disk drive then power cycle computer for reboot to disk options or turn on computer insert in drive then right click on computer then right click on DVD drive then click install option but before you do that let me suggest that it is desirable to restore from partition restore image by using system image restore in repair disk http://officekey.blogspot.com/2012/03/ho… or xp equivalent this way you will be using your own OS system just re wind to beginning instead of clean instal which may be infected if you downloaded it from a untrustworthy site be aware that the system image restore option would still be available and so would not pose problem since OS will be original but here is the most important part here is were you get program to install os via usb https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+inst…
