Hi Holly, Excellent job with the info....
If you have to use the Encarta Encyclopoedia, leave it installed, if not, it can go....I believe you can run this from the CD....at least most of these programs allow it....you can check the CD, if you have it...just put it in, browse any directions, Help, may tell you at start of the CD. Like I said, if you absolutely need it, leave it....check the size of the program folder (Right click it's main folder in Program Files, Properties)
What does Add/Remove Programs show you far as how many separate versions of Norton AV? If it shows two exactly alike names, wait a bit on trying to uninstall any. Sometimes old entries remain in the list....
Windows Explorer> Disk C: Program Files
Are there two NAV folders, and do their Properties show about the same size? With sub-folders, and are there two Live Updates entries?
From Start>Programs>Are there two NAV programs shown?
(Sorry about the real basic stuff, just trying to be thorough)
Usually, NAV shows what year it was issued, like NAV 2000...on desktop icons, or in Program menu...
did you upgrade at some point? I don't think NAV will install without telling you that it found an earlier version...but I may be wrong...a good search from Windows Explorer is about the only way to tell, if someone installed a newer version into a custom folder, instead of the default C:\Program Files, it could well be a second copy, but might be a program update from Symantec??
WinZip= mine I thought was pretty new, it's ver. 4331.
As before, look for second main program folder on hard drive.
And, in Add/Remove. The SR-1 is the newer download, but still a free one.
Only other thing I see is that you are using MS Backup- if you are making full system backups, they eat space like crazy. It could be just an installed component, and you are not using it....if not, it can be uninstalled from the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs>>Windows Setup applet...
Given your situation I think I will advise you install a used or new second hard drive-- you have only 850 odd megs of free space. Considering today's programs, and possibly a lot of graphics work, that is as yet unknown, you may end up filling your drive to the point that you cannot uninstall anything, or do much...at least not without VERY careful monitoring, which can be pretty time consuming, etc. A second drive will give you plenty of breathing room, place to keep valuable work files, or second copies of them, without taxing your C: drive and driving you crazy with space checking, deleting stuff....and, if anything happened to your main drive, which is 5-7 yrs old, where would you be??
An added hard drive does not require reinstalling everything, it just goes in and is simply a big empty space. It does not need to have Windows installed on it. Given the age of your system, there might be a problem installing a large hard drive, but no trouble or very little from anything like another 6, 7, 8 gig drive-IF you can find one. You might even be able to use a large one, if it was partitioned into two or more drives. Your system's BIOS is the determining factor...what it can "see" or use as one drive- Win95 has limitations, also. (You have a 6.45 gig now, so it is not the old 2 gig limit....might go up to 8.4 gigs with no hassle) You can find used drives in computer stores, from techs, family and friends....most people just heave them with their old computers, here the stores give small drives away)
I checked out Corel Draw 8....the program itself uses 80 megabytes to install it's files, without anything you create/store as part of school. That's a fairly large suite, about as big as Win95 itself. Here is a good link to check the system requirements, features, demos of it, etc, by the way, your computer exceeds all the req's.
