I don't disagree with this either. Microsoft's KB articles use a very imprecise and sometimes obsfucated language such as: "This issue occurs because you do not have enough disk space available in the temporary files folder." in articles such as http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326678 , it is very difficult to know exactly what they are talking about. (disk space obviously is not different per folder on a disk as they seem to indicate with *in the temporary files folder*). Other articles show how a "corrupted temporary file" can even prevent Disk Cleanup from running. (what the heck is a corrupted temporary file, and why is it so bad thier own disk cleaning tool cannot remove it!) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823302 Anyway, Windows is still littered with such aweful exceptions, required workarounds, and general problems, that I find often the best strategy is to simply use time-tested steps such as hitting it with a hammer! :-) -- MrC _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
