Looks like my dad's old laptop is finally dying. It's not a surprise since he got it in 2005, and he's already had a new one for a while now, but I've been using it for writing and stuff while in bed. It lags quite a bit, but after doing some cleaning it runs a little smoother. Sometimes it can't load the programs list or open control panel options. I got Steam on it just fine, but when it starts updating the laptop blue-screens and reboots, so I uninstalled it.
Even for an X P computer, it's still very behind on updates -- can't fix that because Microsoft completely removed X P updates from their website apparently. I wonder if it would've run better if I had them. Or maybe doing so would kill it quicker at this point.
Oh well, not a huge loss once it kicks the bucket, but it's kinda sad.
