Yea! your computer needs more ram,I would do a google search for your make and model Pc for memory and see how much more you can add.
512 would be a big improvement,768 would be better. Also get rid of Norton, Norton will drain your resources ..

256Mb is 'ok' for XP, and shouldn't be slowing down a simple app like Notepad - more intensive programs such as Photoshop (or Norton) would be a different story

It's not clear from your post if you are suffering from malware or a settings or hardware issue. You may wish to attempt an online scan, such as Panda's or Housecall etc

Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real.
