I have what I hope is a simple question for any computer people here.I am trying to reload my program for my digital computer--it worked fine until one day it said it was missing a path-----OK I tried to reload it and it tells me my D drive is full-------------I cant seem to even open D drive to see what is there. This is windows XP I am asking
1 How do open D drive to see what has taken all the space?
2 How do I clear whatever is on there?
3 It seems most of my sons games will only let you load them on D drive which may be the problem--I dont want to remove all his games and start over if possible.
This is a Dell dimension comp 2 years old with 77% space on C drive available
I want to pass this on also I called Dell for the first time about this system and they honestly wanted $99.00 to answer my 1 question or $249 for 2 years of help support----need I say there will NEVER be another DEll in this house:confused:
Thank you Chip

i will help, but i can't do it right now. it will need to wait till tomorrow.

also, computer requests go in the "computer help" forum which is at the top of the forum list.

TY shifty-----I honestly didnt know there was a seperate computer forum-----------never had to look there before---------chip:rolleyes:

If you want to browse your files and look at your drives, you need to open Windows Explorer. This program can be opened by looking in the Start Menu under the programs list in the "Accessories" folder -- OR -- if you want a shortcut without using menus, if your keyboard has the "Windows key" shown below, just hold down that key and press the letter "E" on your keyboard. It should open Windows Explorer.

Once it's open, highlight (single-click) "My Computer" in the left-hand pane of Windows Explorer. Click on the "View" menu up top and choose "Details". It should give you full details of all drives attached to the machine over in the right-hand pane...BUT, before you just start hackin and nuking stuff, read on:



First, before we do anything, lets cleanup your "temporary" files and other crap. This will free up a nice chunk of space on your computer.

Download CCleaner (freeware) from http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp .

Start the install - IMPORTANT: During the setup, UNCHECK these items:
Add Desktop Shortcut.
Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar.

Once installed, run CCleaner & select the "Windows" tab.
Select the options illustrated in the attached image.
Close all open programs now (except CCleaner!).
Next, select the "Applications" tab and UNCHECK everything.
Next, click Options icon, then click Advanced and UNCHECK: "Only delete files older than 48 hrs".
Next, click Cleaner then click "Run Cleaner" button (bottom right).
Click "OK" to any warning messages. Once complete, choose Exit.
Before opening any additional programs, reboot.

Try reattaching the Outlook file after rebooting. This should solve your problem.

Thank you shifty---I tried this and unfortunatly no luck.My wife found a local computer shop that will take this system and clean it up for $35-----I very truly thank you for your time and effort.
