I think the main problem is the ram. Unfortunately, I can't buy any right now, let alone buy it online. When I first installed XP (as reccomended by KoopaScooper) it was fine, but after a day or two it slowed down to the point where it takes 5 seconds or more to load the start menu, a minute to open a folder, 3 minutes to open a page, and so on. I've scanned for virii (plural of virus, right?) and nothing came up. I've gone on no suspicious sites, I've used CCleaner, defragmented, and it's still slow. I was going to post this on my computer, but the computer freezes for 10 seconds or a script goes un-responsive or I get warnings about Virtual Memory or just something that really pisses me off because I can't do anything.
Please, I need a computer to use for homework and what not, and this is all I have. I can't buy anything for at least 2 years. I'm saving up money, and I only get $5 a week. There is nothing else I can do to get money. I've tried various times.
