Sounds like Chester is going through his second childhood - trying to keep up with his little brothers :)
Yep, that's what happens when you have a house full of younger cats. Just ask Storm and Sky.;)
My not so little red heads have not only knocked off some of my refrigerator magnets, but they have bitten holes in them and then they put them in the water bowls. I have to then throw them away. Lately they've been very good and I hope that this continues.:)
Hi, Chip and Chuck and big brother Chester! Hi, Angel Rose, Winnie and Grandma! How are things at your house?
:love:
Your admiring fan,

Just want to post a note because I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to get on line. My computer is down to 6 percent free space now.
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't
you post this problem in General to get more views & maybe some more
folks to see it & offer helpful suggestions. I know there are more than a
handful of posters who are knowledgeable about pc maintenance.
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.
I'm wondering if I could take off some of my system reset points too. It's been making them for over 6 years. I won't ever reset my computer to all of them.
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.
If you have or can get 15% free Defrag your hard drive if you havent already.

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.
