That space is already smaller while we speak and is probably less than 500 MB's now. It won't be long before the machine cannot function.

that maybe, just maybe, one person here is talking about HARD DRIVE storage, and another person here is thinking RAM memory??? I cannot imigine only 1 gig of hard drive memory/space or capicity left , and then installing SP2

Thank you. It makes me smile.

So sorry, my fault entirely. I missed the word 'drive' and got it into my head that you were discussing RAM. My C: 232.55 Gb and I have 189.50 Gb free. I re read the thread and realised what I had done.
Sorry again for wasting your time.

Thank you for picking up on that. I had re read the thread and realised I had somehow missed the word 'drive'. I was thinking about RAM! I have apologised to Elvandil.

Yes, I suspected as much. I thought your journey of discovery would be something you would remember.

1 gig of RAM is possibly too little for Vista, but it will work. 2 gigs would make things run a lot better.

Ok. The redness is gradually disappearing from my cheeks. I am aware I am a bit short on RAM. I am looking around for a new computer rather than getting additional memory for the one I have and trying to sift through all the sales 'hype'. PC or Laptop? Windows or Mac? etc. Not easy with limited knowledge base. I'll get there eventually.
Thanks again.
