I enjoy a 120GB partition on my 160GB 2nd disk drive on my Win XP Home base computer. I have occupied ~80GB of space on my 120GB partition and ~40GB free (I figure this out by right-clicking "Properties" on the drive letter contained by Windows Explorer. When I download files to the drive I get a message that the download will exceed the amount of free space I hold available. Any idea why this happen?
Msg box incorrectly say I am running out of disk space.?
It could be your virtual memory (AKA swap file) is eating away at your free drive space. How much memory do you own installed? You could also have a virus and/or spyware. I would try running full system scan (from not detrimental mode) to check for a virus (you do have an anti virus program?) and also run spybot check out and destroy, adaware, blacklight rootkit executioner, windows champion, and -squared to check for spyware. If you do not have an antivirus program, downlaod one from Anti-vir, avg, panda, or avast ) avast also have a free internet security suite. Most of these sites also enjoy online virus scanners so you can scan your machine for a virus from the internet. Install a firewall too.
