128 MB of RAM is no where even close to making XP run. As you found out, it walks, but it will
never run with 128 MB.
800 MHz is also at the bottom end of the performance curve.
You could, for most likely a nominal fee, increase the RAM.
Try www.crucial.com or www.4allmemory.com for additional RAM
Both sites will scan your PC and identify the correct type of RAM and offer to sell you some at a
reasonable price.
Go to at lease 256 MB and 512 would be even better.
