Default PC with similar Specs

Grandma

Believe it or not, my PC is of similar specifications to yours and is 3 years old next month.

Anyway, first thing I would suggest is not to take a dll from another Windows PC and install it on yours, it is best to download unused dll's from dll-files.com:

http://www.dll-files.com

I have used dll's from them before and they work without any problems.

Secondly, I have found that the more you use WinXP Home, especially after a long LW session, the more it has a tendancy not to behave as it should. To keep things tight I use Norton WinDoctor, which is a part of Norton System Works (2004), this utility keeps windows running the way it should.

Finally, The only real problem I have had is with the new version of LW Pro (4.9.28), it is just not as stable as previous versions.

And as for memory, check before you buy extra memory that your motherboard is capable of accepting it. I have been informed that a lot of WinXP machines were made with motherboards that could only see 512MB of memory, hoprfully your PC is not one of them.
