When downloading or installing stuff onto my pc,they aren't installing because my disk drive is full,but when i look at how much disk space there is,the C: DRIVE is empty whereas the D: DRIVE is full.I know that the D: DRIVE doesnt have much space on it in anyway,but aint the C: DRIVE the main drive where all my games etc go??Also,everytime I log onto my pc,a drive icon appears on the tool bar,and a bubble appears saying my D: drive memory is too low. So how do I change it so that all my games etc go onto my C: DRIVE so that its the main drive in use??

Thank you for reading
Mark

Hi Mark

Where is your default folder for downloading 'stuff'. It can be alteredvia the Registry if need be. When you install 'stuff', you can change the default installation folder as well.

As for the 'memory is too low' error message, have a look at the following article:

How large is each hard drive and how much free space is on each? What in
general terms is on each hard drive?
