You will get some space back if you move all the backup files created with MSWindows updates out of C:\ (but not the index which is needed to be able to update it properly). If space is running out fast, then you may have a corrupt page file. Delete it and move it to another drive/partition. Finally, clear all cruft in /temp directory (somewhere under local settings) for each user. If you have another drive, move all his data out of C:\ then defrag and shrink the partition a bit, create new partition(s) and install Linux! ;-) -- Regards, Mick
