2. Do a disk clean up: Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.
3. Do a disk check:
Windows XP: Start Menu > Run. Type chkdsk /f . You will probably have to type Y, so that the computer will do this when you next reboot.
Windows 98: Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System tools > ScanDisk.
4. Defragment your drive: You should have at least 15% free disk space to do this properley. Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
