And what I'd like to know is HOW can I free up some room here. I saw under 'Add/Delete' that there is like 6 different Java Updates and is it possible to delete the older ones without messing my programs up.
Another thing is that when I was doing my ebaying before I realized memory was so
limited, I saved a bunch of pictures in a C file and tried to transfer them to a San Disk since I had so many pics but that seemed to do absolutely nothing. Under the drive I could see the file showing up so Im sure it transfered correctly.
I need to free up space soon (though we will be getting new comp next three weeks) because my ebay items are good source of income and need to G-O.

Clearing your cookies can get rid of HUNDREDS of mb of space! Otherwise you could go through some of your programs and get rid of some that really waste a lot of space (for example: Limewire is a hugeee hog of memory), or you could consider burning some of your music/movies onto CDs instead of keeping them on your hard drive.
Otherwise you could buy an external hard drive; that's what we did - and now we have 80 gig of backup memory in case our C drive gets full.

Yea, thats what we were going to do but how do you get your computer to load all the programs onto your external hardrive, does it assume this automatically?
I heard it is cheaper than buying a new computer (and less wasteful) and I saw some being sold on ebay for like 300..

I would just add more hard drive space. Just buy another drive, attach it then Start-Run-diskmgmt.msc [enter] then select the drive you put in and format it.
I am assuming you are talking about Windows Virtual Memory, right? If you had no RAM, your computer would be as slow as heck.

Hello.
Sorry I've not understood. Do you have a lack of space on your hard disk, or is the ram memory the problem?
If the problem is the hard disk you can delete something like cookies, the files inside the TEMP directory, and so on.
If the problem is the ram memory, then you should shut down some useless process, you can find what's running on your computer just pressing the CTRL + ALT + DEL keys invoking the task manager, and checking under the label Processes what's eating your ram.
