Memory — “How the processor stores and uses immediate data”
When you use a program, the computer loads a portion of the program from the hard drive to the much faster memory (RAM). When you “save” your work or quit the program, the data gets written back to the hard drive.

Most people run computers with a min of 500mb of ram. You can’t buy a computer with less than 1GB (1000MB) of ram now.

I think you can now buy mobile phones with more power than your computer.
It seems to be about 5/6 years old and I can see you don’t use it for much.
I would say you could just replace the box with the lights on it for about £200 or get a new one for about £350

Yes that tell’s me how bad your computer is.
There nothing I can do to help you.
Your computer only has 256MB of ram and is under powered.

First get rid of the pre payment meter !!!!!
You’re paying well over the odds for your gas and electric with them. Set up a bank account and a monthly payment plan for about £5 -10 per week.
Look for the best deals online.

Don’t use O2, they have a terrible reputation for broadband.
I don’t know where you live, but give us your postcode and will get you a better deal.

They should be replaced every 15 years, most are not.
British Gas estimated that 20% were over/under reading.
