If you are losing disk space constantly for no good reason, then you have a old type virus that a simple anti-virus scan will detect and remove Music and Video can chew up memory like nobody's business. Those files should be sorted through and non-used files deleted. The next big culprit is how your computer is saving files. If you haven't run a disk defragmenter before, now is the time. On a Window's based operating system, select Start Menu > Search > Files and Folders > type in "defrag". Then, when you see "Disk Defrafmenter" appear in the search terms, select it. Click on the "Analyze Disk" feature and in a minute you'll have a picture of how messy your disk drive is. Likely, your computer will reccommend that you proceed with the Defragmentation and you should start this process. The whole process should take 30-90 minutes. Upon completion, you should see a vast improvement in performance!
What else can I help you with?
Where can one find information about their computer's hard drive space?
Hard drive space, is frequently located in "my computer" and can easily tell you have much space you have used, and the amount of space that you have left. Simply click on "my computer", and choose the drive that you wish to look at. If you already have done this and would like to know how to clean up some of the space to widen your capacity, you may want to do a system restore, and a disk defragment, to compress some of the widely spread data eating up your space. The bottom line is, you'll want to check the "my computer" file visible by simply clicking the icon on your computer.

What should you do if your computer is seriously slowing down because you store many photos on your hard drive?
You could burn the photos to a disc, or copy them to an external drive such as a USB drive or an external hard drive, and then delete the photos from your computer. And if your computer is still slow, you can use a tool like CCleaner to help clean up your computer and make it faster. It seems unlikely that too many photos would slow down your computer unless they took up all the hard drive space, check for malware/viruses.
Is 2.0 gb good for a home computer to download songs I have kids that want to download mp3's and I am afraid they will use up all the hard drive to quikly. We have not downloaded anything yet and are at 70%?
2.0 Gigabytes of Hard Drive space is pretty small for a home computer. I would suggest upgrading to a larger Hard Drive when a single song can be around 5-10 megabytes of space.

well, first off disk defragmenter doesn't free up any hard drive space, it does what the name implies. Just defrags the memory on your computer. The only way to free up space on your computer is with add/remove programs. You then would remove certain programs you don't use anymore. You can change the drop down box to size so you can see which programs on you computer are taking up the most space then by deleting the ones you use less frequently you will free up hard drive space i.e C:\ see related links for a program which lets you see what is taking up space on your hard drive.

Ask me on my message board if you want information on a computer to do different things.
