| 531441 | 2007-03-09 05:04:00 | Why not just get yourself a new bigger hard drive? It's not good to fill them right to the brim with programs and data. Remember too that they need 15% free space for defragging. | FoxyMX (5) | ||

| 531445 | 2007-03-09 08:24:00 | Do a search for Dr Watson. Its buried deep in Documents & Settings If you have ever had a crash or BSOD. windows saves details to send to Microsoft. These files can grow to several Gigabytes, This service can be disabled in Windows Services under the title of -Error Reporting Service- Disable this first then delete the entire Dr Watson folder. Unless you want to send all your computer problems to Microsoft this a useless bit of wasted space. I deleted mine 2 years ago when I found it had grown to 1.4Gb Ian | i-gordon (962) | ||

| 531449 | 2007-03-09 09:53:00 | For God's sake - buy a bigger drive and be done with it. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 531450 | 2007-03-09 20:34:00 | For God's sake - buy a bigger drive and be done with it. Probably best answer ... but if you are short of the readies just now have a look at any music files you have. If in WAV convert to MP3 Misty :) |
