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.

Don't fret. There's always the telephone.

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.

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.

Awesome!!

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.

I do have CCleaner on my computer and use it almost daily right now.
I'll be watching for your email.

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.

I've just learned by trial and error with it.
