Piriform's CCleaner has utility tool that provides a user friendly UI for managing taskup tasks, I would use it to see what I had, and use its disable/enable feature to isolate the problem - you'll need to do restarts but on XP especially that should easier than going in and out of Safe Mode. Get the Free version See ==>> https://www.ccleaner.com

i agree with that diagnosis
you could simply eyeball the list of installed programs on both machines and play spot the difference- if you can''t immediately think of what is installed only on one of them.
not so sure about the ccleaner recommendation - it used to be great, then was sold and all sorts of shady behaviour kicked in. So you wold need an older pre-sale version and one that works on XP
