Ken,
Thank you for your response and help.
One more thing I meant to ask earlier, and I'm hoping you will check back
and help again,
When I delete "TEMPORARY" files, it only shows a handful of files, however,
I have Symantec NSW 2006, and when I look at the sites in it's memory (used
by the "Goback feature) , even over night when idle, there is
a TREMENDOUS amount of temporary items --
??? Where are these files, and should I try to go back and delete some of
the older temp files ??
I know the GoBack feature holds numerous sites in memory in case the need to
actually go back to
a point in time, but if not needed, should I try to get rid of these
"Temporary" sites, and where would
they be located ??
---Thanks for any help---

I have used a freeware program ... FreeRamXP PRO , and the program helped in
many cases, and I enjoyed using it. About a week ago, the program became
erratic, so I removed it, and then tried to reinstall a few days later. I've
been blocked from trying to download the program .. in essence, it says it
cannot run the NEW program because it is already functioning. I have done
numerous searches trying to locate another site, and I've deleted and erased
(a TRUE erase) all of the sites I could possibly find
What am I missing in order to correct this program.
Can anyone offer any assistance with this?

I can't help with your problems installing or using the program, but I urge
you *not* to use this or any similar program. Wanting to minimize the amount
of memory Windows uses is a counterproductive desire. Windows is designed to
use all, or nearly all, of your memory, all the time, and that's good not
bad. Free memory is wasted memory. You paid for it all and shouldn't want to
see any of it wasted. Windows works hard to find a use for all the memory you
have all the time. For example if your apps don't need some of it, it will
use that part for caching, then give it back when your apps later need it. In
this way Windows keeps all your memory working for you all the time

You're welcome. Glad to help.

I'm back, but I can't help you with this problem. I am not a fan of Symantec
products, have none of them on my machines, and can't help you with them.
 
Okay Ken ... thanks for your help with all of this?
Do you "possibly" have a way of getting rid of the temporary files that have
accumalated..there are so many, revert time is down to just a few hours.
If you can stretch this site a little bit further, where and how do I get to
all of these bundles and bundles of Temp files ?... If you can, great .. if
not, thanks for your responsive answer and assistance. Do you have ANY idea
whick help room could possibly help, or just make "NSW" in the "Subject field
?

You say "When I delete "TEMPORARY" files, it only shows a handful of files."
Where are you looking? How are you trying to delete them?


revert time is down to
just a few hours.


"Revert" time? Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that term.
 
Hey Ken
Sorry so long getting back to you. I had a qwerky monitor, and then for
some reason, have not been able to bring up the Help pathway.

RE: Getting rid of Temporary Files, I go to the "Tools", click open, scroll
down to Internet Options, and the window that opens up, I choose the deletion
of temporary files and cookies?
Again, it's not really that many.
If there somewhere I shouldbe going, and a different procedure to dump the
Temps, please let me know.

----Thanks for any help ----
