The problem is with Vista.
It is the most horribly bloated OS that has ever been offered! There is
easily 14GB of 'trash' code-writing and silly software that comes embedded
with it. That's what happens when you try to be all tings to all customers
in all situations. 7 looks a bit better (I beta test it too) but still has a
long way to go. Vista was also first sold under the false pretence that it
could work on 30GB of space which is utter nonsense and MS knew that at the
time. I have it crammed on a 30GB partition just to use it's one feature
that I cannot get with Linux yet - Speech Recognition/Voice Dictation
program. The rest of its offerings are either silly, overly complicated or
mediocrity at its best. Explore around a bit in the freeware world and you
will see another way.
Despite all the nay-sayers, in the future try Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Fedora 10,
Mepis 8, Sabayan or openSUSE 11.1. They are all FREE Linux operating systems
and come with access to thousands of well-written free programs (GIMP is
every bit as capable as the expensive Photoshop and Abiword is a fast and
excellent replacement for Word while OpenOffice is even more comprehensive
than MS Office. I'm selling both Office and Photoshop but can't get buyers
for them at 1/3 cost - that's how good they are!
Linux gets a bad knock from those who are too lazy or fearful to try
something other than 'ol MS.
Good luck in your search

Vista requires a partition double the size of your drive. The problem is
not with Vista. The problem is with your outdated hardware. Get a larger
drive..

How can the problem be with Vista if it is being installed on a drive which
is too small?

Well I deleted the pagefile.sys
It was 8gb
lol now I have 7gb free (I tried to test sp2 with no luck) and lost 1
gb already
Now i'm stuck with windows update problems. for .net framework 3.5 sp1
(kb951847) and a security update (kb960225) I can't update these 2 I get
the following errors

1-code 643
2-code 80073712

Anyways thanks Paul I got at least 7gb for a few weeks
It's useless to fix this thing it's unfixable.
I'm wondering if I should shift for a another OS.

Have you deleted all but the most recent restore point?

If you've done that, do you know how to adjust the disk space that is
dedicated to that?

Go on a diet, save your lunch money, and buy a new hard drive with it.
