I have a Dell XPS 420 Desktop, Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit Operating System, Service Pack 2, 3.00 GB of Memory (RAM), Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz Processor. I do not understand why I had about 100 GB free of 283 GB in OS (C
about a week ago. I've deleted a very large amount of programs and files (1500 ipod songs and itunes, 5-6 computer games (like Combat Arms, Counter Strike, et cetera), Steam, 15+ movies, Adobe Photoshop 7.0, and much more) a couple nights ago. I did a disk clean up and fragmented the hard drive. After I did all of this, my memory has dropped about 30 GB. I now have 70.2 GB free of 283 GB in OS (C. I DID NOT download and install anything new to my computer. I have Mozilla, Avast! Antivirus, aswMBR, Spybot Search & Destroy, RegAlyzer, RunAlyzer, Hijackthis, Adobe Reader 9, Acrobat, uTorrent, VLC Media Player, 75 pictures, 18 movies, zsnes and Fusion (10 old school games all together). I also have seasons 1-3 of Ancient Aliens, seasons 1-3 of Kung Fu, seasons 1-3 of Squidbillies, seasons 1-3 of Moral Orel, seasons 1-6 of Oz, seasons 1-5 of Weeds, seasons 1-5 of The Wire and seasons 5-7 of The Office. I did a virus and Windows Defender scan, nothing was found. I also did a Spybot Search & Destroy scan twice. The first scan found adware from Freeze.com and removed it. I restarted the computer and did one more scan, nothing was found. I deleted programs from Add or Remove Programs and then used RegAlyzer to delete the registry keys left from those programs. I want to increase my memory, how can I do this? Here are my 2 logs:

If there are any problems in the 2 logs, please tell me why and how to fix them.
I want my computer to be working at its best! I've had this computer for 3 years now and plan on keeping it for many more. It was a display computer at Best Buy and Geek Squad did an optimization.
Reminds me to ask one more question about my computer, why do I have to right click to run programs as administrator when I am the only user on the computer? What do I need to do to fix this problem? I've always had to do this.
MANY MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE!
