For some odd reason windows 2000 thinks that I don't have enough disk drive space to do certain tasks. I tried to use an old version of Eudora mail, and it kept deleting my messages from the server while telling me that there wasn't enough free disk space to place them on the hard drive. I have also downloaded netscape 4.7 and when I extract it, I get the following error: The decompression of %s failed. There may not be enough free disk space available in the temp directory. I have well over 3GB of free disk space, and I am not using a disk quota. I also looked under control panel > sytem > advanced > environment variables, and the temp directory is pointing at a valid place. Hey, I appriciate all the help I can get on this one.

Try emptying \winnt\temp \document & settings\Administrator\Local settings\temp Then try again! Super Pirahna ICQ: 285145

I think some programs (mostly old ones) cannot work with partitions over 2 GB. They can't calculate the remaining diskspace because they're not made for this large drives. Maybe you should get a copy of partition magic and setup a second partition smaller than 2 GB and put your tmp there and all the progrmas that made any problems like this. This is just a guess, but it won't hurt trying. PS: Don't forget to defrag your drive before using partition magic to resize yxour existing partition. Hope that helps Idefix

If you have installed win2k on a FAt16 partition....it`s understandable for it to tell you that you have not enough disk space ...FAT16 supports only 2gb... Soo.... Try again... If you have NTFS then you can listen to message above and make another partition with FAT32 ... Bye

I ran into the same issue. Clearing up the temp directories mentioned above did the trick. Too bad the error message didn't say 'which' disk was out of space.
