Yes; all of the above, however it was with Vista and, currently, Windows 7. It's quite possible that XP may not have the infrastructure to support one or another of the applications that you mention.
In general, you've got to be willing to take a risk when loading applications as there is simply no guarantee that every application is going to be trouble-free. Fortunately, for those that aren't, simply uninstalling them will almost always restore proper operation. However, if you're really that worried about your OS load, I'd advise you to get Acronis True Image (Home 2011) or a similar application and make a full-disk back-up. That way, you'll always be able to restore your XFR to a known (good) state...
