[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1353094, member: 56379"] Since you're aware that your free HD space is getting low...it's probably time to do something about it.:) I'm sure you must have items on your HD that can be permanently deleted, copied to an external HD, or burned to a CD or DVD. There is no absolute rule of thumb that says SL needs xxx amount of free HD space to operate properly. But with 26gig free...you may be entering a "zone" where productivity will start being effected. Let the free space get to zero (or close to it)...and the computer will "lock-up"...and then you have some real hassles! The time is now (not later) to address things!:) - Nick p.s. BTW...do you have a backup of your computers HD?...if not...it may be time to take care of that as well.;) [/QUOTE]
