I recently noticed that my computer was running slowly. I checked to see how much space was available on my c:. To my amazement it said that 25 gigabytes were used when I know for a fact that only 18 gigs were used. Any suggestions? Please help.
Thank you

System Restore is usually on. Go to Start>All programs>Accesories>System Tools>System Restore. If it is off, it will ask you if you want to turn it on.
