Do any of the files use japanese characters? This includes the texture files, which may be .jpg or .png. This could be the issue with the textures not showing or it potentially crashing.

If this is the case, you may need to run the program in japanese locale. Including unzipping the zip/rar files in japanese locale. To change to japanese locale, you will need to go to your regional and language settings in control panel, and change the default language for unicode programs to Japanese.

Also, I don't know what a .spa file is. That isn't a type of file that MMD can open to my knowledge. It may be a type of 3d object, but, its not one that I know of.

One of the effects of a slow computer is the lag when you move the models or change your camera view. Mine was an I3, 2Gb DDR3, 1Gb high profile VC. When I had to swap my high profile VC with a low profile with the same memory, I noticed significant lag.

Adding to akukame's suggestions, some models, accessories, etc, needs some file in a particular folder for it to show/run properly. Now if the folder/file wasn't named properly, usually because of the japanese characters, like akukame said, then MMD couldn't proceed with loading the models, usually causing it to crash; or it would still continue to load them skipping the unreadable files, leaving you with a messed up model.

and .spa file is a texture file.. afaik... not sure what program it is native though.
