Please post some information back please.
> Question: What is the ACTUAL free space on your HD ?
Go into Windows Explorer; look at your C drive; R click on the C drive; choose properties
That will show your C drive in a Pie Chart, and show you how much real open space you have.
If it is only 500 MB's, I'm sure that you can find plenty of old junk to get rid of.
