Hey guys. I was just downloading stuff and I noticed that it told me that my BACKUP(D) was running out of memory. I then realized that everything was being saved to my backup... how can i change it so everything I have will be saved to my Local C disk?

It's not running out of memory. It's running out of storage space.

"how can i change it so everything I have will be saved to my Local C disk?"

Pay attention to the screen when you download & select where you want the file to go. I'm surprised it doesn't default to My Documents. You must have changed it at one time, left it that way & didn't bother paying any attention until D filled up.

If any of your drives have less than 15% free space I would recommend removing some less used applications or data. You machine will run faster with adequate free space.
