DEFRAG?!?!?

You probably have a lot of TEMP files on your computer.
Right-Click on MY COMPUTER and left-click on EXPLORE, then right-click on C: drive and left-click on Properties. This will tell you how much room is left on your computer. You can then do a DISK CLEANUP.
If this doesn't help and you have uninstalled all your un-needed programs from Control Panel, you may need a bigger C: drive.

You must have your hard drive crammed with music and pictures.:)
Recommendation: Go out and buy an external hard drive - Best Buy, Walmart, etc. - not expensive. You can transfer your music and such to the external drive to free up space.
After you do the transfer - a good thing to do would be a defrag of your 'C' drive. Right click on your 'C' drive - properties - tools - defrag hard drive.

the best thing to do is to probably compress your hard drive - it will run a little slower but will give you about 30% more hard drive space - remember when you "delete" these other programs/games you need to uninstall them - sometimes programs store application files in a couple of different directories that may not be obvious for you to look in -
it would help if you told us how big your hard drive is and how much room you have left and how much room your game needs

not only put pictures and old emails and documents on disk, but also download a program called ccleaner. yes i spelled that right. it clean unwanted temp files and other crap off your c drive. go to the link below and type in ccleaner. download now. then install. also look for issues. i use it all the time on many different computers and have never had a problem.

You should get a new hard drive.. They are cheap now. I saw an ad for a 300 GB hd for $50 in the paper today. They go as high as 1 TB or so.

About the only other thing you can do is to buy a bigger hardrive. Or backup more programs on a cd and delete more of them.
