I'd b etter getter antivirus program then? There has been somehing wrong with my volume but the speaker sudenly stopped working and wy history on pc's and this external hard drive with windows files on there, I'd be prone to try to get get some of the xcopywindows foles deleted(?) It was not all of a sudden tho, I've been running on disk space forever and clearing it up by emptying cache etc. and *.dmp files. I will be careful and take a look at the e drive.

I saw that a few days ago on a friends computer. When I checked in "my Computer" - she had about 75 % of her 80 GB harddrive free. However, when she tried to download something from the internet that was just a few pages of text, she got that message. We found out she had a virus that had messed with her volume information. After we had cleaned her machine the error message did not come up anymore. This may not be the same case for you, but I thought I tell you about that experience. Trudy
