    Real Hard drive size and available space - help

    I only have 1GB of RAM. I have just formatted C Drive and done a clean install of WindowsXP a week ago. How do I see how many restore points I have to free up space. This is the first time I have seen this happen. Just yesterday I had over 2 GB of space free. I haven't installed anything new...

    Real Hard drive size and available space - help

    I tried that first thing, but wasn't expecting it to find the missing 3GB. Disc cleanup only gets rid of data that is accounted for but not really needed. I have a whopping 3 GB missing and unaccounted for. Something is taking up that much space but I can't find what that something is.

    Microsoft Outlook

    Not exactly sure what your meaning. But let me just add, when you are saving to a .pst file, make sure to check the box where it says, "include subfolders." So if you go to the "personal folder" and save from there, and include subfolders, it will save the whole shabang. Just my 1 cent, cuz it...

    Having problems installing software

    Quote Warez Monster: Try a repair install, were things working before you converted? Just tried a repair install, and still can't install MS Streets and Trips 2006. And yes, things were fine before I converted. I only converted because I was told that NTFS is better file system in terms of...

    Having problems installing software

    Oh yes, the programs have been installed, and so far seem to work. The only thing is, it seems to be getting worse. Because MS Streets and Trips stops installing in the middle of the install. I watch the program files folder as it installs. Because nothing else can be seen as it is installing...

    How do I make the background of desktop icon text transparent?

    I'm not sure what happened, but for some reason my icon text now has a border around it. It's basically the color of the solid background, in my case black. I have always had no border so that the text looks like it is written right on the background. When I go into CONTROL PANEL -> PERFOMANCE...
