Freeing up space on C partition by
Paul[_34_]
I'm trying to free up space on my C partition--I have about 25% left (8.5
gigs free out of 30). My Windows folder is taking up some 13 gigs, but none
of the folders seem that large--System 32 and Explorer both have about 2
gigs. I have checked the folder options to display hidden system files, but
still can't see anything. I have run Disk Cleanup a few times, as well as
defragged. What can I...

I am trying to (legally) recode a video clip using Dr. DivX on my 32-bit

Video playing issues by
[email protected]
Hi,
For awhile I could play videos with no problems, but now when I try to
play them (from Youtube for example) they stop and start and stop and
start with that circle thingy whirling when it pauses and take
forever. I tried uninstalling the adobe flash player and reinstalling
it, but that has not done anything to fix the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Vista business recommended? by
Josh Reece[_2_]
I've been one of the unfortunates who has had a lot of problems with Vista
(Home Premium version). Windows 7 won't be out till October, but I need a
new computer now. What is the general opinion about Vista Business? Any
good, or is it similarly plagued by problems?
Thanks for your input.

I just noticed today that when I try to run the Snipping Tool, I get this

THE SNIPPING TOOL IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT NOW. RESTART YOUR
COMPUTER, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM
ADMINISTRATOR.
I've been running Vista Ultimate for about a year now, and installed SP1

burner question, Vista home premium by
~alan HDX~
Hi,
I am new to Vista and burned my first data CD this morning. I used the
built in feature to do so. I could not see how much room was left on the CD
prior to burning. All of the burning software I have used in the past
indicated how much room was used, and how much was left. I'm sure I'm just
missing something here because it is such a fundamental aspect of burning
optical disks.
