Answer 1

Is your D: drive your primary drive that holds Windows and other programs? On my computer I have a single hard drive partitioned into two sections the smaller section (Drive C:) is were I keep my programs and I use the rest (Drive D:) as storage space.

Now the reason I ask if your D: drive is your primary is because I get that message (except mine says Drive C: low on disk space) whenever I have a large memory demand with multiple open programs and files. Even though both drives are techically on one physical harddrive, it doesn't write to the other drive (D: in my case) even though it could be completely empty.

If your D: drive is the primary (with Windows and your applications) then it could be your getting this message not because of actual stored data (like a picture, movie, or music file) but a cache limitation and the computer basically doesn't have enough drive space to create the cashe for the programs you have open. If you run only a few programs (or fewer than you normally do) that might help.

As for changing the location of where files are saved... well by default files that you download go into your "My Documents" folder on the primary drive where Windows runs. When you save a file (or use the "save as" option) it often brings up a window that allows you to specify where you want it stored and usually the last folder you saved to becomes the new default folder that is initially brought up the next time you save something.

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.
