I have a 15 gig hard drive type unknown (compaq pesario 5000)
i now have 900megs left but when i take old programs mp3's i can get 2-3 gigs back but when i check later in the day or even the next day it is down to the megs again....i did disk defrag..scandisk...erased by history... deleted temp. internet files...etc...and gain space but then i changes again...(other users do not download anything...just me)

Have you tried scanning for viruses?

Are you on a broadband connection and do you have a firewall?

no firewall...scan computer nightly for viruses...broadband connection (cable modem)

Let me suggest that you should get one. ZoneAlarm and Sygate are free ones you can download.

I'm guessing that you either have a virus or someon'e storing their stuff on your comp. You may want to check aroud for things that don't belong.

I don't mean to scare you; I'm sure there are a few other possibilites.

If you are using WinXP or ME, your system restore could be eating it up.

I thought this thread was in the win98 forum... Oh well... I guess my eyes are playing tricks on me again... :p

See? I knew there were other possibilites! :D
