yea, the problem is, this isn't my pc...which is a good thing and a bad thing...lol a dr at the hopsital where hubby works has this laptop for his daughter, and it was so full of crap and viruses and problems, he bought the XP upgrade and wanted it wiped out all but her music, pictures, and personal data files. I managed to save the data files and pictures via an ftp to my geocities page and the file locker here, but there was no way to keep 700mb of music files (which are probably still lurking someplace).. Anyhow, I've done the clean install twice now, and each time i find programs in the program files folder from BEFORE the clean wipe...most don't work cause the dll's are gone that run them, so i been playing guess what's old and delete it game.. If i delete something needed, hey, I still got the cd...LOL The problem is, i know XP is large, but 4.5mb install???? c'mon, no OS can really be that huge? With all the guess and delete i've done so far, i'm up to 2.50gb free space from 1.4 so i guess it's working.....and so far (am on it now lol) it seems fine... SDL....I had to put Bryce in the message someplace so the thread wouldnt be moved by a passing admin...LOL Ardiva, I been reinstalling, updating, compressing, defragging, compressing again, updating more, defragging again....LOL this is ALOT of waiting for this dern laptop to catch up with me...hahahahah electro- Billy is no friend....hahahaha Anyone who designs a system that is this hard to fdisk, has GOT to be sadistic!! LOL Back to the grind i guess...lol I can't wait to get back on my pc again...i keep switching this cable modem back and forth..i miss my pc!!! Thanks everyone!! Jen
