You have to make sure it's the right kind of memory, usually matching what you have is the best way.

You might try something like Glary Utilities
It has a simple One click clean up and has good ratings-

I've used it for many years.

more free cleaners/optimizers- read about them - some are simpler than others

And after the cleaning it would be good to do a hard drive defrag.
That's in Windows (XP anyway) menu - Accessories/ system tools/disk defragmenter

It does sound like you have some other stuff happening.
these might be good to try too.

many more free tools - McAfee is one of the top rated security sites

and maybe change out the webroot for something new -

I find most of my programs on Cnet, anywhere else - too risky.
Thanks so much for all of the info. My webroot is the full version (purchased). I am sure the free download stuff is probably just as good but I get nervous with trial things, so I just bought it, plus I bought the one for 3 computers for other family members to install as well. It was a better deal than buying for a single. I did go to the Clary Utilities also which brought me to a registry scan for the computer and WOW, was my computer a hot mess! Of course I ended up just buying the program or whatever it was PowerSuite. To clean computer files, defrag, speed up computer tweak computer, repair damaged files etc. I must say, it has improved ALOT. I do think I messed up though. I bought the single Registry booster first last night and thought that was all I needed untill today! So....then I bought the Power Suite, so I am not sure if I bought the registry thing twice (if it was in the powersuite) but anyways..for $60 total versus taking it in to a shop, I think I made out still. It doesn't seem to be doing any of the things I mentioned in my original question!!
