574794 2007-08-01 03:06:00 I noticed my C:\ had limited space so i went to add remove programs selected sort by size

and top of the list was

KB926122 windows Hotfix 7.5Gb

which is about 20-30 x the sie of the original OS, so would i be right in assuming there may be something a bit screwy there?

Ok heres a screen shot for any of you who think i'm telling porkies (nigel.geek.nz)

and this from microsoft (www.microsoft.com)

574796 2007-08-01 03:25:00 Even Microsoft would be pushed to achieve 7.5GB from a 1.3 MB download. There is something a bit screwy on your computer. Graham L (2)
574797 2007-08-01 04:55:00 It is not unusual for "Add or Remove Programs" to incorrectly report the size of an installation.
A size of "4,095.00MB" is recorded for a few trivial installations on my machine.

574798 2007-08-01 08:24:00 Avonbill you may be right, i removed it and it sure as heck didn't free up 7.5gbs, rather depressing as I could have done with the space Morgenmuffel (187)
