Clean Registry and Optimize PC
I also suggest you to upgrade your memory for at least 512MB.
But you can also try to shut down all the unnecessary startup files by doing
start->run and enter "msconfig" then go to tab and uncheck all the unnecessary startup programs and restart your computer this would improve significantly the speed of your PC because it will consume less memory.
hope this helps
You need to get spybot or adaware on there and run it. If you don’t have any ad ware/spy ware protection you’re living on the wild side
Assuming your using respectable registry cleaner and not from some pop up spy-ware junk, add some memory. Otherwise, donate it to a worthy institution and get you a new machine.
You have the bare minimum of RAM 128M, surprised anything runs.
Do a Run: MSCONFIG and turnoff all the startup programs and see it that helps. You’re memory is probably being filled up with unnecessary programs running in the background.
if you were running programs that were made for it yeah but today programs have gotten bigger and more complicated making it a more demand on you cpus and ram. You can also reinstall the os and just install the basics and see if it runs any faster. it could just be some system file are corrupted.
Have you checked your hard drive for bad sectors? Slow performance could be due to read/write errors. I’d back up your important data, then run scandisk. If you come up with errors, your hard drive may need replacement. On a computer that old, that would be my first bet.
Also adding more RAM would make things move a little more quickly.
Wait a minute, you’ve only got 128 MB of RAM on that thing? There’s your problem, pop more RAM into that machine!
For running slow there are many causes:
Microsoft Registry Problems = Slow Computer!
Spyware/Adware
RAM
De-Fragmenting
Etc.

For IE, click Tools, Internet Options delete files (offline files) clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want) click o.k., and Restart
