thank's rusty,
well that does make a lot of sense. i will be doing an upgrade so i can use what i want. don't know if it helped but i cleaned out my recycle bin. at least that helped the hard drive.
i am now running at 17 percent free ram space.
just got dsl a few months back and had to increase ram at that point. maybe dsl is eating up a bunch of space.
i will just bump up the ram and should have a better buffer incase i need it
thanks for the response
rich
