Refusal to save
I am using Windows 98 and have for some long time. I write
history books and have had no trouble saving the documents and their corrections. Suddenly my machine refuses to save the documents. A window appears saying that the disk is full even though I have 15 Gigabytes of free space. This just happened suddenly. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and how to correct it ????

Empty the Temporary Internet Files Empty the Temp folder C:\Windows\Temp Delete the swap file (can only do it in DOS, it should be C:\Windows\Win386.swp) In Safe Mode do a defrag. -- Sincerely, | (©) (©) | ------ooo--(_)--ooo------ Andrew H.

One step further. What is indicating you have 15GBs of free space? And, is
it formatted space on the partition you're referring to, or, hard drive free space unpartitioned or unformatted? "Douglas G. Skelding" wrote in message ...
