Re: Not enough space on C drive

You can uninstall and then reinstall some of your applications the D drive
which should free up quite a bit of space and you can move your swap
file/virtual memory entirely to the D drive which could actually improve
performance. I don't think moving your application to the D drive will slow
anything down unless your C drive is a better performing drive but I bet
your D drive is the better performer being newer. If you have hibernation
enabled on your computer be sure to disable that also in Control Panel/power
options. You can also move your My Documents folder by right clicking it,
selecting properties - move. --- Steve
