On my laptop I have a switch that disconnects me from the internet, or I can right click on the computer icon in my taskbar and disconnect from there.
Writing documents is probably the easiest task your computer does, using the least resources. It should not be slowing your computer down.

that definitely helps!
did you buy that computer from a shop, with XP and 128MB ram in it? Or, as I suspect, it came with windows 98 or something, and you've upgraded to XP?
XP needs at least 256MB RAM to run decently. 512MB is ideal. And for any video editing type work, or photo manipulating, you'll be wanting 1GB. 128MB is definitely not enough, and this is why your computer is going slow.

While you're upgrading it, put it to 512MB.
I can't believe they sold you a 128MB machine only two years ago!! We have an older computer at home (now almost 5 years old), that we got with 512MB RAM.

Use that to scan your system, it'll tell you what it can upgrade it to. You can buy the memory from them (theirs is about the best memory you can buy), and you know it'll work with your machine. If you get it from elsewhere, make sure you don't pay over the odds for it. And if you know someone who knows what they're doing, get them to fit it for you. It's not hard (a 5 minute job), but better if you know what you're doing.
