Question about disk space
I just got window vista with my new laptop. However, I found out that I'm
using way more disk space than the software says it would. I've installed a 2GB software on my window xp and it's fine, but when I install it on my vista, 4.2 GB of space is used instead. I tried uninstalling the software, but it only gave me 1.4GB of space left. When I install it again, I lost another 4.2 GB, so it adds up to about 7GB for a 2GB program. Is window doing something that I don't know about? If so, how can I free up some space? Would much appreciate if I can get any help, since I am absolutely clueless right now. Thanks

Question about disk space
You could reduce the amount of space allocated to System Restore. Have a look
here http://vistasupport.mvps.org/decreas...em_restore.htm or here http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/arc...ows-vista.aspx "mikelam" wrote: I just got window vista with my new laptop.
