Hi everybody Recently, actually yesterday, my coimputer gave me an message that my hard drive qàwas full and i was supposed to free some space. My first hard drive has 6g (Wiondows is instaàlled there)and the second has 2. I was suprised becase in my last check i was supposed to have just 2g or so used, so i started to check folder by folder and i really didn't have that much used... finally, in despair, i restarted and, surprise , when i went to properties i had just 1,5g used!! So, if it was to hard to understand each time that i start my computer it has 1,5 gigs of used hard drive space and 4,5 free BUT after some time it begins to dissapear, in a couple hours my hard drive is full, and I have to reboot!! Sorry to be so tangly, my english is terrible, but i hope i made myself clear enough!! Thanks in advance for your precious help Catalian

how much rams do u have? sounds like virtual memory is taking up the space.. what setting do u have in virtual memory(system->advanced) try setting your virtual memory to a fix amount(ie max & min the same value)..

That is probably because of the paging file. It uses your hard drive as ram. Take a good look at your computer and do your self a faver and go to a more sootable o/s Like win 98. Xp requires a hugh amount of resoures with almost ever thing disabled it uses 65megs not to muntion the hard disk space used for the paging file,hibornate,system restore. Go back to win 98.
