Justin, it is still difficult to read your posts. Please use complete
sentences and proper punctuation and capitalization. Usenet posts are
not the same as texting or messaging! Again, you will have a greater
chance of success if more people are able to understand you!
Ken has already explained why a drive marketed as being 40GB is actually
only 37GB. However, you still need to tell us how much _free space_ you
have on this 37GB drive! Open My Computer. I recommend you select:
View | Details
You should see two columns: Total Size and Free Space. What is the Free
Space of C:?
(Another method is to right-click C: and select Properties.)
I noticed you are still at SP2, which won't be supported beyond July. Is
it patched? If not, that's probably one of the causes of your problems.
An unpatched system is more likely to contract malware. Also which
anti-malware programs do you use? Are their definitions up to date?
Finally, you need to include the *complete text* of the error messages,
not just parts of them!
You should also run Event Viewer and search for errors:
Start | Run
Type:
eventvwr
Click OK.
For both Application and System, sort by Type. Double-click on the most
recent errors. Then in the Event Properties window, click on the Copy
button so that you may paste the text in your future post. It will look
something like this:
