I would recommend cleaning out temp files, and any unneeded programs or software that is on it, or buying a second hard drive. Also make sure you have an anti-virus scanner and that it's definition file is up to date.

Something is eating up your harddisk, it's either software or a virus.
Hard disks average around $175.00 for something decent, but I'm in Canada so they may be cheaper if you live in the U.S.

i got all my virus defenitons up.. i use nortan.. do u know of enything better?

Quantos · 01-31-2004, 12:18 AM

Norton is one of the best. Run disk cleanup on it your hard drive, it can usually be found in accessories, system tools.

01-31-2004, 12:29 AM

after doing that im up to 326

Quantos · 01-31-2004, 12:31 AM

There's nothing else I can advise you to do except to get somebody to look at it, from the sounds of it you don't have the technical knowledge to run what I would suggest to more experienced users.

01-31-2004, 12:35 AM

NOPE! =p shure dont =p

01-31-2004, 12:38 AM

jsut 1 last thing... when i had my shard the accounts models monsters ect, HAD to be saved somewhere..therefor i should be abel to deleate them.. i deleated the WHOLE FILE of RUN uo and stuff.....but o well i get someone to look at it TX!

Quantos · 01-31-2004, 12:38 AM

It will save you a few bucks if you know someone that can take care of it for you. Service technicians can get expensive pretty quickly.

hehe =) my dad workes with the guy who built and sold the comp to me.. ima get him to take a look at it this weekend =p tyvm =)

Quantos · 01-31-2004, 12:40 AM

I can't see any logical or illogical reason why RunUO would eat up gigabytes of HDD. I run a fully spawned world and the total directory size is less than 100 megabytes.

Empty your recycle bin and delete temporary files used by Internet Explorer.

01-31-2004, 12:45 AM

i did both of them

DaGoose · 01-31-2004, 12:49 AM

You try searching for files over say 50MBs?

01-31-2004, 12:50 AM

all i got on my comp is gateway AIM ICQ UO2d nortan and zonealarm...

Quantos · 01-31-2004, 12:51 AM

DaGoose, Link101 is a younger user that admits to very little current technical knowledge, please be careful what you try and talk him through

01-31-2004, 12:54 AM

what he said =p

DaGoose · 01-31-2004, 12:54 AM

He couldn't be any worse than most of the retards I deal with daily. D

Trying to think of an easy way to find bigger files. You can do a search on the hard drive off of your start menu and choose search by size and put in something large (like 10MB or so) and see what it returns.

01-31-2004, 12:56 AM

im tryen to learn alot =p but...

DaGoose · 01-31-2004, 12:59 AM

Is your hard drive one big drive? Is it just a C drive for the hard drive?
