    My computer has an icon that is telling me I am running out of space on Presario_RP (D

    What do I do to fix that?

    Help, please!

    Open Windows explorer. My guess is that your hard drive (c: ) is named Presario_RP. If it is, you need to get rid of some files. If you're a file sharing addict, consider burning some of your stuff to CD or DVD for offline storage.

    Another thing to try is to empty your recycle bin. Most people think that when you delete a file, it's gone. It just goes into the recycle bin until you empty that. You can have loads of in there taking up disk space.

    disk cleanup would help (but not much) defragment wouldnt do anything except move clusters around so they are more uniform....

    What she needs to do is delete all those useless Rasho pictures that are clogging up her harddrive.

    There is no such thing as a useless Rasho picture. I have always thought there were not enough of them to be had.

    However, I keep them in yahoo pictures online so the point is moot.

    Yea, I know the disk disfragment wouldn't help on the memory issue but it wouldn't hurt.

    It won't let me do one. I get an error screen saying that a disk check is scheduled.

    But when I shut down and re start and try to let it to the check, the computer freezes.

    I am afraid to touch it now that I finally have it back up and running.

    I helped her clear some files, so she isn't getting the error about disk space anymore. But that bluescreen/freeze up, I couldn't really help her.

    That may have fixed everything. I haven't turned it off since you helped me get it functioning.

    Maybe this would work

    I considered it, believe me.

    You could throw that piece of Compaq in the garbage and get a real computer (ie, Abit board, AMD 64-bit CPU, Crucial RAM, Antec Power, Western Digital HD, etc.). I just got done fixing a friend's Compaq, and that thing was horrible. By default it used 30% of the HD just to restore it to its initial state, and they must have some screwed up proprietary way of writing par ion tables, because I couldn't read them from Linux cfdisk and Linux fdisk or DOS fdisk, and I couldn't read from the drive with dd even. Windows could read it, and so could KDE though.

    I'm with Bum on this one. Compaqs are a piece of . , they all are, even Dell. Best to get someone who knows what he's doing and let him build it for you at half the cost and twice the power. Then go out and buy yourself a killer monitor with the money you saved.

    Any major name computer is garbage, unless it's one of their high-end lines. Even then, you're getting a lot of bells and whistles and extra software instead of top of the line RAM, MB, HD, and power.

    Not only that, they use ty custom-made parts to save money, upgrades are a nightmare and are usually more costly than need be otherwise.

    I don't know about black helicopters, but there certainly are many more jets than before. The local AFBs must be busy.
