Hi, I am getting a disk full message when ever I try to save anything such as word DOC's or Notepad files as well as trying to download anything off of the internet. It is anything that I am trying to save or download actually. I have a 20GB hard drive and about 5GB of free space with 128MB of RAM. It is a fairly plain system software wise with good ole Windows ME O/S and this problem has been coming and going for quite some time but has been very consistant for a week now. I so far tried restoring my registry to a clean date thinking that I might have downloaded something that effected my system files as well as tried a scan disk and defrag. I really don't want to re-image my system so I would appriciate anyone's help. Thanks in advance... Gil

Just a guess, but I'd bet you don't have a fixed size swap file, and Windows is allocating tons of space for a dynamically sized swap file.

There's a lot of swap file info and other tweaks in this post:

And how much space are you allocating for system restore?

Might also be the setting for the "Disk Full" message? Not sure but I think that can be set somewhere?
