I remember when I had a 30GB hard-drive. I couldn't see past my nose and made some really bad choices like making some photos smaller to save space.
1.47GB left on your computer means you're already past the point where you could even defrag it. You don't have enough room to turn around in basically. There's a point at which it's time to upgrade. 40GB hard-drives, which it sounds like you have, went out of a style around 2005 I think. If you just can't, you can buy an external hard-drive and keep your photos on that. Although I would recommend having at least two of them. But, if at all possible, get yourself a new computer. And some external hard-drives for back up. Removing 20MB of Passage Express and Legacy Charting is not going to help you. ---- JL | http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 6/14/2012 11:54 AM, elizabeth wrote: > Hi Jan, Thank you for your reply.
