    Ok, I'm not sure what this person was talking about therefore; I'm not sure what I'm talking about...
    Something to do with having a specific amount of room on your hard drive, then it seems a little less, then less, and your really not putting anything on it....
    Does vista have a characteristic that does this? I thought I even read something about this, but I'm not 100% sure....
    thanks
    joe

    Is it just newly created system restore points? They take up a lot of room.

    If that's what it is, you can always delete old restore points.
