Answer 1

go to start... then control panel... then add/remove programs... and it will bring up a list of all the programs you have installed.... you need to uninstall any old game you don't play any more... don't delete any Microsoft updates or drivers for you hardware.... you can also delete any old programs you don't use...

Answer 2

Burn your pic and music to CD's, then remove them from your computer. Also, if you download movies, burn those then remove them. All of these take alot of space on your hard drive.
