My c drive is full. can i move progams to my d drivr without having to
uninstall and install again to new drive?
 
Nope, your going to have to uninstall and reinstall on to the new drive.
When a program is installed it will install files in your windows folder and
system 32 folder and where ever else. So if you copy the program over to
another drive and try to run it, the program isn;t going to know where some
of the dll files that are located in the windows folder is located.

So your going to have to uninstall and reinstall. Sorry

Good luck
 
You do have another option if both C and D drives are on the same HDD and
that is partitioning. Move some space from D to C with PartitionMagic. If
C and D are two separate hard drives then you'll need to uninstall from C
and reinstall to D. Remember to save any data that may be in a folder from
the program then you should be able to move the saved folder back to your D
drive when you're done re-installing.
