Betty, It sounds like your system is in dire need of a good hard drive cleaning. That would entail emptying the Temporary Internet Files, clearing out various Temp folders and then the Recycle Bin before running a full CHKDSK and finally Defragmenting the drive. If you need instructions for any of these, just give a yell. :O) Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "betty" <nextcent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 8:22 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: CD Drawer > No, not at all.
