Hello, i am really stressed out at this moment. I decided to go to control panel then go to add-remove programs to see what programs i had installed on my pc and which took up the most memory. Some of the programs on the side said how much hard-drive space they took up while others didnt. Im kinda worried where the hell did that information go. For example i have Age of Mythology installed it say that it takes 939mb up while when i go to aol instant messenger(aim) it shows the program but does not show the amount of space it takes up. Can some please provide me with an explanation. I thank you in advanced.

You have asked this question once before in this forum.

The values that you are looking at are not the ammount of memory used but the ammount of HDD space. These are two different things.

Some programmes show this info, some don't.
