How large is your pagefile.sys file? To see the file you may need to
select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, and check box before
Show hidden files and folders and uncheck box before Hide protected
operating system files.

On what partition are your My Documents, Temporary Internet Files and
Outlook Express Store folders.

How much free space do you have after carrying out the housekeeping
suggested by Hjomby?

Hope this helps.

As Johnny Carson used to say, "I did not know that". Thanks Gerry.
