The problem is not with Vista. The problem is with your outdated hardware. Get a larger drive.. -- Mike Hall - MVP Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx

An 80gb partition gives space enough for Vista to breathe in and out, enough space to install plenty of stuff, and enough free space to maintain drive performance. Saves having to get paranoid about moving stuff elsewhere all of the time.. -- Mike Hall - MVP Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx

You could also try downloading Ccleaner and make sure the Hot Fixes option is checked (to get rid of all the backups of security patches).

It has both the 32 and 64 bit sets of everything. Among other things, every version of every .dll for every installed application is held in the winsxs folder. MS Office and Photoshop have thousands of dlls. Winsxs keeps all this code for application compatibilty.

How large is your \Users folder? It holds a lot of your data & settings,
like Pictures, Documents, email messages, newsgroup messages, etc. My Vista takes up the following: \Windows 17 GB \Users 23 GB \Program Files 8 GB -- Windows 7 beta http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview http://download.live.com/wlmail "elserge82" wrote in message ... mmmm did all this. Deleted all my restore points, and hibernate files. :S -- elserge82
