Off topic, so I won't go into details, but your computer is soon going to run into difficulties with so little free space. Removing those 2 programs is not going to give you much more and you will need plenty if you are planning on adding lots of photographs. I suggest you have another internal drive fitted OR add an external drive OR replace your existing drive with a MUCH bigger one. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
