As you can see it claims that my disk space is almost completely used which doesnt make sense, I have almost nothing on my computer. Any ideas on why, and how to fix it? Also when I click on Local Disk (C:) I seem to be missing program files (x86)..

maybe, but windows holds many files that you cant see !!

Have you re-installed windows on top of windows?
Have you recently deleted any of these.... prefetch files, temp files, recycle bin?
How many installed programs do you have and what size are they??
Have you done a virus scan recently?

Im not @ yr computer right now, so just trying to get some info, so trying to narrow down to a possible soultion!

Sounds also very fishy that you cant see yr program files (x86) folder?
Your using Vista 32/64, home/pro/ultimate?

Your using a Laptop right?

goto c:\ & look for a directory called windows.old

if you have just done a rebuild the windows setup will rename your old win dir to the above, you can delete this, you dont need it.

Throwing up (yeah, throwing up) random ideas
- is the recycle bin empty?
- right click on C: drive, properties, clean disk and wipe out all the useless stuff
- have you deleted old backup checkpoints made by windows?
- have you cleaned the temporary files created while browsing on the net? On Windows XP, it's in C:\Documents and Settings\name\local settings\temp
- have you had fun with your crapload of pr0n movies, without even sharing with us?

Found the problem, I've been recording via Fraps and the video files are HUGE! They are from 2 to 5 GBs in size.. But I still do not know where the (x86) file is..

Haha! PMSL :lol:

well at least you have found one of the problems ;)

Still i dont know why you cant see your (x86) folder :roll: :?: ???
You might of dragged and dropped it into another folder by mistake.
('Ha, ive done that before lol)

It must be still there otherwise you would not be able to utilize any programs that you have installed in that folder.
Goto your C drive, Folder Options/Tools/View and have a look at invisible files, it might be hidden there, i cant remember the exact route coz im running WinXp.
But just check to see, and make all invisble files Visible, then have a look.....


Microsoft Windows Vista... one word to describe it.... "LOL"


Also i would recommend searching for the folder in your entire PC, easy if you just done a search for "x86".

Goodluck :mrgreen: !
