    Don't click on any of the things in the 'My Computer' window, just on an empty bit of white space. It looks like you right clicked on one of your drives, so its told you about that instead of your whole computer.

    Go to crucial.com and run the memory scanner. It should tell you how much more RAM you can install. 448mb is not very much by today's standards, so if you install some more you should find things speed up dramatically.

    I'd suggest binning Windows and installing Linux, but I think that would be too much for you right now.
