I have System Mechanic by iolo technologies, LLC
There is an option in it "Maintenace Wizard"
It does the following:
=> Automatically searches for and removes junk and obsolete files and other
system debris from hard drive
=> Finds and cleans invalid information and references in the Windows
Registry.
=> Cleans up Internet browser cache, cookies, and other related buildup
created while surfing the Internet.

Best Regards,
Shakeel Ahmad.

Upgrade you RAM for marginally better performance. Your system seems to be
about 6 to 7 years old! Though your system seems to meets the minimum specs
for running WinXP, remember that it's the bare *minimum* specs. Don't expect,
say, Windows Explorer to open up in under 2 secs!

Whether you want to trash your current system and buy a *modern* computer is
up to you.

Add more RAM, after cleaning out the drive, defragment it as it will
improve speed.

Now i have increased my RAM. It is now 256MB. Is this enough? I am feeling
some better performance now.
===> I have another question. I have 8MB of video memory. can i increase it
by sharing ram with it?

Best Regards,
Shakeel Ahmad.
