It's amazing how much space you can gain on your drive by doing a " disk cleanup" %26amp; "Disk Defragmenter ". I did that %26amp; I gained a lot of extra space. Go to ALL PROGRAMS %26gt; Accessories %26gt; System Tools


%26gt; Disk Cleanup %26amp; Disk Defragmenter . Do the Cleanup, then the defragmentation. The defragmenter is the one that gets you the most extra space, because over time, when you download things, there isn't room all in one place on the drive to write the program, so it puts parts of it all over, or it " fragments" the program. After the clean -up, which compresses old %26amp; hardly ever used stuff on the computer, then the defragmenter can gather all the parts of the programs into one place, thus speeding up the computer, because when you go to bring something up, it doesn't take as long to find it, thus it's faster.
Reply:How big is the hard drive, ie, how many gb? If it's actually full, it would take a lot to get it to show any free space.


You must have a lot of stuff on it, or it must not be a very large drive.


My suggestion would to get another drive and install it, or have it installed.
Reply:on the start menu click run,and type just the way you see it here c:\Documents and Settings\user name here\Local Settings\Temp then press ok;;;this foder contains old pass items;;;it is safe to delete everything ..this will give you some extra space until you figure out what to do.
