In addidition to Carey's advice I suggest that you download and install
CCleaner to check for temporary files on the computer to remove and then you
can uninstall it when done if you want. Also delete your temporary internet
files [CCleaner will do it also] and set the amount of space for temporary
internet files to around 30MB or so in Internet Explorer - tools/internet
options - temporary internet file settings. --- Steve
