Gerry,
Thanks for quick reply.
System Restore should only be set to monitor your System drive! What is
the second drive you are monitoring?
You're probably right. 2nd is storage and I use Win Backup to 2nd drive (E).
Where are you getting your figure of 15 gb from?
Right click on "C:" & it show used and free amounts. I'm sure 15 gigs in
right.
"Show hidden files and folders" is checked
It is.
When I cleared "Hide OS files," I got the strong warning "This is a stupid
thing to do!" Is this really, really necessary?
I use "details", but there is no "free space" option listed
SR files are very small. I just turned it off and then back on.
I'll try reducing SR space allocation. Does that make sense if it's show
not enough space??
I keep the disks prettly clean, just ran cleanup again; defraging is seldom
necessary.
I used Norton for a long time/ Had ZoneAlarm now for 30 days. I've heard
that it can mess up SR. Even heard that it should be uninstalled to SR!
Whatta u think?
That "analyze disk" and copy is pretty cool! It verifies 42% free space
Don't know how to attach, so here it is:
Whatta mess. Hope I din't forget anything. . .later.
