732653 2008-12-26 13:33:00 When I double-click on a specific big item in WinRAR I get the message: "Probably the disk is full" or something like that... What can I do to stop this?

I am from Norway but I hope you understand. :)

732654 2008-12-26 19:12:00 Well maybe it is - where are you trying to extract it to? pctek (84)
732655 2008-12-26 20:52:00 When you double-click an item, its extracting it from the .rar file into a temporary location that your computer is able to run. When it does this, it uses more HDD space on your C: Drive (Unless you change the settings in the options).

Basically, free some HDD space up

732656 2008-12-26 21:02:00 Yeah when you extract files with WinRAR it first extracts them to the Windows TEMP/TMP location which by default is on your C: drive. You can change the TEMP and TMP locations to another drive with more space if you want. E.g. D:\Temp

Right click My Computer > System Properties > Advanced tab > Environment Variables > User Variables

Click on TEMP and then Edit. Change the Variable name to something like:
D:\Windows\TEMP
Then click OK.
Now edit the TMP value and change it to something like:
D:\Windows\TMP
and click OK 3 times to finish. That should put the temporary locations on another drive. Make sure you've created the Windows, TEMP and TMP folders on the drive as well.

732657 2008-12-27 13:56:00 If you are using XP, what file system are you using, Fat32 or NTFS (because Fat32 has a maximum single file size limit of 4GB, and will give you a "Disk Is Full" error as it says here)

You may need to convert your file system to NTFS as suggested in the above page.
