Did you uninstall all the associated software such as photo software from add / remove and also remove the printer from printers

Get the trial of Tune Up 2006 here
Tune Up 2006 Trial
Run disc clean up then registry clean up then click optimize to run reg defrag, which needs a reboot
Those deal with checking for obsolete files etc and it will be worth having a go at installing the printer now
The next bits are suggestions for making the most of the free trial
After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot
After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot
After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor

I just went out and bought an HP printing and it installed fine. But when I tried to optimize the computer it ((the program Tune Up )said It didn't have enough memory. There is this one file (Dir0) I think it is just pictures if I try to delete it says it is to big to be deleted, So I not sure what to do.

Does it say too big for the recycle bin do you want to permanently delete it
If you right click the file, then click Tune Up shredder does that remove it
Either way, make sure you do not need the file

If it is a folder, right click the folder then click explore
If it is a single file, right click it then click properties to see how big and anything else

I've seen smaller partitions
Have you got a Norton Protected Recycle Bin
Did explore just give the size

Have you got all you data backed up
If so, and you do not want the file, let tune up shredder deal with it, though it will be a few hours, so when you have finished with the PC, check tune up starts shredding it then let it run overnight
Having your data backed up is in case it was a necessary file, though properties should at least say the file type and the programme which opens it
