I need to free some space up on my drive to play WOW?

Question

Hi! I have an old laptop that I want to install wow on so I can have it on 2 computers. Unfortunately, it takes up a lot of space (4.7 gb) and I only have 3.97 gb of free space. I've deleted almost all documents and the only programs left are:
-ATI Win2K Display Driver
-Compaq 56k (v9.0) Mini PCI
-EasyAcessButtons
-FasterXP
-Hotkey Support Software 1.00.H4
-Intel(R) PRO Network Adapters and Drivers
-Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1
-Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903)
-RTC Client API v1.2
-Windows Installer 3.1(KB893803)
-Windows XP Service Pack 2

Can anyone help me with this problem?
I really want to have World of Warcraft on my laptop.

Have you tried to do a disk cleanup and disk defrag.?

Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Cleanup
Follow the same path and do a disk defrag.

I would also recommend 2 more programs.

Download CleanUp---http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/

Free disk space, make your computer run better/faster and protect your privacy - all in one easy solution. All for free!

I use CleanUp every time I log off. I have never had any problems with what it deletes.

If you are using XP...

Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048

Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.
