If you are wondering why your used space on the hard drive has increased there can be a ton of reasons.

You can try running the disk cleanup wizard. See how much space that frees, and make sure NOT to do the compress old files! That will do nothing but slow the machine down.

Hi Shane thank you that has increased the C drive even further.

Where would i find the Memory details where speed / resources are a problem?

Thanks again

With Windows XP just open the task manger. And go to the performance tab
