I could've killed Bill Gates...

Well, today I had quite an annoying expierence with Windows ME. A while back, about a few months ago i guess, windows came up with this message saying it had low space on c drive. I have a 40 gig hard drive with C: having 10 gb and D: having 30. So I sorta wondered why this would happen, since last time I checked the c: drive had several gigabytes left. So, I deleted a few files until I had about 1 gig left, which was still less than it should have been. This happened a few times since that, but I just deleted files to make up for it. But Some times I would delete stuff and I wouldn't gain any space. So today, I had about 477 megabytes on the drive. That was good and all, but I wanted more, and some stuff was messing up. So I deleted a few files and ran a few fixer programs, only to find at the end, I had a mere 8 megs of space left!!! I would delete stuff with no gain in space. I was just about at my wits end, and I was searching around on google to find some help. I came across some stuff that talked about the system restore feature. Well, I had thought about this, but I did turn it off a while back. But I read on anyways. So after reading I found the _restore folder. I had checked before, and it didn't seem to have that many files in it that took up much space. But I deleted it anyways. And BAM! 5 gigs of space is suddenly FREE!!! I was sooooooooo happy!! But man... I hate windows sometimes!

Windows ME is the worst. You should upgrade to XP if at all possible.

Yah, I plan to sometime...

hmm...... quick question. I use two computer, mine is Windows 98 :D and the other one is XP, the one with xp sux because messages keep popin up whenever I'm in some kind of programs or not

That isn't a question.

What kind of messages?

well if it was win98 I'd say reboot in to msdos mode and run a full scan disk :\
but just run a full scan disk from winblows and it should give you the right settings also you need to defrag.

Oh sorry if I didn't state clearly, I only use win98 because i got so used to it. The xp has DSL but it keeps pop up messages like commericals, system messages, etc

I dun understand what you be saying?

That's just people abusing XP's netsend messenger service, just go turn it off in your Computer Services.
