negative hd space reported

No, I didn't miss your point.....the support number for MS in the U.S. is (800)
936-5700. Last time I called an (800) number, it was toll-free. :-)

Guess you missed the point. Only way I know to even ask them (at least that
will get any kind of response) is to spend money on the phone call.

Ask them. Usually the patches are "special" only in that they have not
been fully
tested in all environments, so they don't want to risk making them public.

What I'd like to know is why MS decides some of these "special" patches
require one to first phone them which usually means some cost to their
customer regardless of them waving their "pound of flesh".

I have a P4 mobo,40gb hd, 768mb ram reported. I recently
reverted from xp to 98se. It keeps teling me I don't have
the resources to open another program. when I look a tthe
performance, and virtual memory, it shows my hd space as
-30124 free space ??? I tried searching this site, but
all I find is to contact support @ 35.00 for the hotfix. I
tried entering the product (yes i followed the dirs) but
it says its an invalid number...?

I cant give a CC #, and I cant put in the product key. I
really need to get the fix for this though, is there
another way? I'm really lost here.

It is an 800 number !

My mistake, I've never seen that 800 referenced anywhere before.
