My Goodness, badest.....you're getting to be our best customer! :whistling:

Open "My Computer" and double click on the C: drive. How many Windows folders do you see?

That's good. Are you asked which operating system you want to start when you boot?

How much space do you think you are missing?

well, badest...

I'm trying to figure out just how to find out what to delete. :whistling:

Windows XP is about 2.25 gigs all by itself. If you used an upgrade and installed over Win98, did you have it save the previous configuration (98)? That would be a gig or so. Do you have duplicate files or folders on there?

It's kinda tough to tell from this end just what would be safe to delete. :blink:

You need to get rid of the limewire...not only is it the root of the current problem, we can't give support to issues involving P2P applications. Besides, limewire will load your machine up with all kinds of nasty malware that will make our repairs vitually impossible.

Uninstall the Limewire, do a System Restore (to a time before Limewire was installed), and head to the Malware Forum to make sure you haven't already been infected. Once a malware expert has given you a clean bill of health, come on back here if you are still having problems.
