since your on dialup I recommend you go to the library or a friends house (that has broadband) to get any downloads...burn them to cd's or a usb flash drive and take them to your system that way...
you really do need a GIG of ram...it will give your system a NICE speed boost

I'm not sure what the error message is talking about because according to the picture you supplied your drive has 86% free so there isn't a reason for defrag to be complaining of low disk space.
I'm just going through everything to see what is causing the problem.

Happyrock according to OP she did increase memory to 1 gig in post #12
Well I did the memory upgrade I put in 1GB and this old 2400 was Smokin for about a month now its sluggish again and wont defrag all the way goes to about 18% and quits
shroomlady did the Auslogics Defrag finish?
How about the TFC, did it clean out the temp files and browser cache files?
Do you have anything else running while trying to play the games?
Do you have any problems with any other sites online?

Oddly enough I have been sick with bronchitis and pneumonia for the past 2 weeks that I actually stopped smoking now. Drinking I gave up years ago so this is my way of relaxing now.
The problem is the age of the system and trying to fix the issue will be more complex as we go but not to worry. I am here till the end. Regardless of the big hammer and throwing out the window accusations that may be said between now and then.

Open Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab, and UN-check:
"IgfxTray"
"PCMService"
"QuickTime Task"
"SunJavaUpdateSched"
"TkBellExe"
"Microsoft Find Fast.lnk"
"Office Startup.lnk"
"Webshots.lnk" ""
"Google Update"
The next file needs to be manually disabled and is only needed if you use multi language on your keyboard. If you do then skip the step.
To turn off just ctfmon.exe go to:
Control Panel then to Regional and Language Options
Click on the Languages Tab then click the Details button
Click on the Advanced tab
Check the box that says Turn off advanced text services option
Click A and then OK
When done restart computer and then:
Run TFC and then run Auslogics Defrag.
Try browser again and let me know how it works now.

I see nothing in the pics to show any problem at all with your modem.
Can you tell me what speed is your modem?
14.4, 28.8, 56k
