I have 2gb ram, 250GB hdd, and a pentium dual core with 2.50Ghz. I don't know why but everytime I launch the windows xp mode which only consumes 256Mb of ram(indicated in the settings). Makes my computer slow. And I only have google chrome launched. What do I do to solve this problem?

In my limited knowledge on the subject, windows xp mode is based on hardware virtulization, which means that as soon as you switch on xp-mode you processor starts to run 2 operating systems at a time. So, what you need to be looking at is the cpu usage which should skyrocket when you turn it on.

Through Windows XP Mode Settings improve RAM allocation from 512 MB to 1024 or more to get the improved performance & speed.
To do this you need to change Close settings to Shut Down for XP mode, then while windows XP Mode is Shut Down you can edit settings.
