333410 2005-03-12 08:38:00 Hi to all,

I'm having problems with pages on my pc. For example, on this page now if I use the up and down arrows, or mouse roller, the page moves up or down in stages. The same is happening on other applications like outlook express, notepad, word.

I think this is something to do with graphics but I'm not sure. I recently formatted my hard drive with dire results. My hard drive is now 130Gb instead of 160Gb, I dont know where the other 30Gb has gone.

I would appreciate any help as I am at my witts end.

Many Thanks

did you format the hard drive during the install and create a partion which didn't take up all the available drive ?

333418 2005-03-12 09:40:00 You may not get anymore out of it.

I use a 120gb sata and only see 111 gb of it.

This is in 2 partitions.

And out of a 80gb I can only see 74.99 gb.

This is also in 2 partitions.

Try cleaning the temp files / crap off your system

You may get more

Try this http://www.ccleaner.com

Its free.

You'll be surprised how much crap can get on your system!
