If the system is otherwise working, I would first increase the physical
RAM to at LEAST 1 GB. Go for more if your motherboard will accept it up
to 4GB. The performance should increase significantly. Then you can
address the other issues much more expeditiously.
Try running a scan disk again and, if necessary, use Safe Mode. Set the
scan disk for automatic repair. Then do a Clean Disk and defragmentation.
Please let us know how it goes.
