It is XP ..
My first suggestion would be to download, install and run CCleaner:

This should clean-up the laptop and will also allow you to clean-up the registry. With a combination of this and uninstalling any software you don't require any longer via the Control Panel, you may see some improvement.

Does the laptop freeze and run slow on all applications, or just internet access?

mainly internet .
See this link to a BBC article about internet speed, which includes a link to a speed test.

These days, you should be achieving at least 2Mbps.
