I seriously start to think that the best thing would be to backup your personal files. Reformat your Harddrive (Both Volumes), and do a clean install on Volume1. You can then back it up to Volume2 (after you installed only the most important programs) and keep this as a backup for later 'recoveries'.
I am not so sure how much you know about computer so this migth be a little too much for you. Do you have someone around who could help you? (otherwise I would not recommend to do this, especially not if you have never done it).

Yeah.. Just get more RAM.
The processor isnt the issue... All this Stardock stuff works fine here on a P3 500...
And I only have 384 MB's of RAM.. According to the user manual, that's maxxing the mobo's abilities out...

does the amount of memory depend on the size of the hard drive?
My computer can store up to 2GB of memory and they gave me only 512MB....does that mean that the company is cheap and doesn't want you to have that much?
mine is slow.......1.6GHz

No it doesn't relate to the harddrive. The amount of ram is directly related to the cost of the machine. If a PC cost £1500 then it will most likely have a lot more memory than a PC costing £700.
I would aim to have at least 1gb of RAM to comfortably run WinXP and most of today's programs. But if you're using Memory hungry software such as Video editing / photo editing software or 3D software. Then you should probably aim for something like 1.5gb to 2gb.
The formula is very basic MORE RAM = FASTER PC
