Even though they painted it white, that didn't hide it from Chip's eagle eyes. He keeps jumping up and trying to get it. At least it keeps him off the window blinds while he's doing that. :eek: :love:
Oh Moff, I think you're getting more excersise lately than usual! :D
Give them all some kisses from me, anyway! :love:

Yep, that's what happens when you have a house full of younger cats. Just ask Storm and Sky.;)Quote:

Hi, Chip and Chuck and big brother Chester! Hi, Angel Rose, Winnie and Grandma! How are things at your house?
:love:
Your admiring fan,
Elyse
They've been fairly good lately if you don't count chip biting holes in my box of crackers from the grocery Wednesday. :D :love:Quote:

I have uninstalled and deleted and cleaned everything I know how to do. I even moved all my pictures to my alternate drive and uninstalled my Kodak picture program. My tiny hard drive is not turning loose of free space.
Just want you all to know how much you mean to me, just in case. :love:
Connie, I wish I knew how to fix that problem, but I don't.:( Why don'tQuote:

Please give it a try & give others a chance to help.:)
MOFF I received a PM about your space problem on your hard drive. Im trying out a program now that may help figure out what is taking up so much space. I installed it and ran it but now Im running a virus scan to make sure Im not recommending something that would cause further problems.
In the meantime we could try Spacemonger, download link. [EDIT]Download the latest version, its free for 30 days[/EDIT]. If you could run this and post a screen shot of the results we might find what is taking up so much space.
I sure hope that Blue or some one else will be able to help you. We'd hate to lose you as a member of PT due to having computer problems.:( When I was having problems Brian,aka Puckstop31, was able to help me while I was on the phone with him. He has a program that let him get into my computer and he fixed my problem very easily. I wish I could be of help but I don't know all that much about fixing computers either. Good luck.:)
Im actually hoping Puck got PMed too. He has more resources then I do. I am more then willing to help MOFF any way I can.
MOFF: Do you want me to connect to your computer again to see what's going on? Or maybe Puck and Blue can help.
:love: Don't fret. There's always the telephone. :love:
If you have the time slick, that would be great. Maybe you could at least show me some things I can safely take off. Like that musicmatch jukebox thing or quicktime player and such.Quote:

There are lots of things hanging out on it that I have no clue what they are for.
Blue, right now, I am real hesitant to download any thing because of lack of space.
I found one of the problems. My system restore was set to the max. It was taking 12% of my disk space for the restore points. I set it to 6% and found on options on disk cleanup that I could delete all but the last restore point. So I did.
That explains a lot. When I was deleting pictures and emptying the recycle bin, it was making a new restore point. Every time I turned my computer off and restarted it, a new restore point.
I'm back up to 11% free space. There was also the option to delete programs I don't use and also windows componets I don't use. I didn't mess with those because I'm not sure just what they would delete.
At least we have breathing room now. :love::love:
I dont blame you but the program is small compared to its potential benefits, especially since you now have more space. A graphical view of your hard drive would help.Quote:

Do you have the disks your computer originally came with? It might be worth while to take the time to back up the rest of your data and restore the machine back to factory condition.
At work here we use CCleaner and it works really well, of course after backing up the registry.
I'll talk to you Sunday. Will email you with the time.
xoxo
I do have CCleaner on my computer and use it almost daily right now.Quote:

Gary, believe it or not, (my brother doesn't), my computer never came with any disks. Everything was all loaded and ready to go so they never sent any disks with it. It never even had an owners manual. :rolleyes:
I've just learned by trial and error with it. :love:
Slick hopped on my computer and did some research. She found out that over 80% of my hard drive is being taken up by my Norton virus definations. Seems it's not been deleting them when it adds new ones. It updates them every week (sometimes more).
My bro is going to check it out too next weekend (because I am a worry wart and Slick wants him to also). I am up to 13% free space now though. So If I'm careful it should be ok until then.
thank you all and mostly thank you Slick!!! :love::love::love:
I'd dump Norton and use AVG Free or Avast.
Norton has become almost like a virus itself in the last few years.
Glad you are getting some more free space!:)
Hi MoFF, has Chip been behaving himself lately?
That depends on what you mean by behaving himself! :D He has been trying to jump up on one of the set of shelves in the kitchen that I have stuffed with things from other places that he is not to mess with. He thinks rules are fine for everyone but himself!!! ;)Quote:

He wasn't near the door when I went in but when I opened the door to come out, I heard him yell. I shut the door fast because I was sure what happened.
He ran away from the door so when I got out, I tracked him down. It doesn't look like it was hurt too badly. No limping or swelling. I'll keep an eye on it to be sure he's ok. Of course, I did kiss his toesies to make it better. :love:
My name isnt Gary but Im not suprised your computer didnt come with restore disks.Quote:

I second Catty for dumping Norton, but I recommend Avast over AVG.
If Norton was taking more the 80% of your hard drive I would hope you have all of that free and not just 13%.
We tried Avast at work and it messed with our network. We use AVG and have never had a problem. It's great!
I am so sorry!!! I have no clue why I thought your name was Gary!!! Must have been having a senior moment or something!!!Quote:

One thing I will say for Norton, I've never had a virus in the 6 years I've used it. My account is paid up until the end of the summer, so I'll probably keep it until then if we can get rid of those files. :love:
My bro just moved over 600 of norton's temp files to my alternate drive, just until we are sure they aren't needed.
I now have 45% free on my main drive. I did a defrag. Gosh, it's almost like having a new computer. It does scoot!!!
Thank you all for helping me. :love:

I'm so glad that you were able to find out the problem and get it fixed.:) I also have Norton which is free with my Comcast Internet. Hopefully I'll never have this problem.
