You have essentially reached the end of the road without a second hard
drive. When you get it installed, you should consider creating a Program
Files folder on that new drive. Uninstall large programs (Office, Photoshop,
etc.) on your current drive and reinstall them in the new Program Files
folder. Move your My Documents folder to the new drive. If you are using
Adobe Reader, you could reduce diskspaceby uninstalling the Adobe Reader
and installing the Foxit Readerhttp://www.foxitsoftware.com Much smaller
and much faster.

As soon as you can, install Service Pack 2 (may have been included in your
installation CD) and the 100 or so critical updates since the Service Pack
was issued. There will be a lot of storage used by all of the critical
updates. If you can,defragthe old drive.

It's a lot of work, but will be well worth it. I've been there and done

You can try to defrag with PerfectDisk, which can do it with just a
little bit of free space.
