Hi Nancy, I'm not sure what your problem is. I'm guessing you have a newish p.c. ? X.P. in itself is fat & older p.c.s don't tend to handle it to well, if at all. What temp files have you deleted ? Have you done scan disc & defrag, & a cleanup ? Also a virus scan in case something's filling your p.c. Also spyware can create problems. The other thing is double click "my computer", then right click the C drive icon, then down to properties. What does that say ? Nancy, if no-one can fix your problem (I hope someone has a better answer than me), please let me know, please make it obvious, like " for Carolyn" in the subject line, otherwise my delete finger may go crazy & I may never be seen again <G>. The 1st thing I'd do is run a virus scan ..... & BACK UP important files. Good luck Nancy, & if you need a hand YELL, hopefully someone will be able to help before I can get back. I hope his goes through .... List Admin, Joan, & I have been having fun with my email addy ... seems to do what it pleases. Thanks for your tolerance Joan ... I'll be interested to see if this goes through, if you have time, let me know.

Carolyn, My PC is maybe year and a half or less... There was only one temp file.... it was a "vg6....something" Haven't done a scan disc, defrag or a clean-up or a virus scan.... in a while... so will try that later (have a dr appt soon so can't do it right away..). The place you wanted me to look up says: 144GB capacity....Used...9.69 GB, and Free..134GB.. Is that what you wanted to know? Thanks, PAX NancyT Hi Nancy, I'm not sure what your problem is.
