got delete?
you could just unistall and delete some things
RE: space maker by M73A on 08-08-2005 at 01:33 PM
can't you just uninstall stuff?
try start -> all programs -> accessories -> system tools -> disk cleanup
a good program that fixes a lot of errors and allows you to monitor/change a lot of stuff is TuneUp Utilities 2004 ... its worth 'buying' i use it a lot 
but not sure how good it is at cleaning space because i don't use that feature much...

ehm.... she needs the software for buissness purposses.
EDIT: anyone?
RE: space maker by Veggie on 08-08-2005 at 01:43 PM
well the problem is you cant get space out of thin air, and if you cant get rid of programs or delete things then you cant have more space.
RE: space maker by super-schaf on 08-08-2005 at 01:45 PM

There's always the option of a second hard drive
RE: space maker by M73A on 08-08-2005 at 02:35 PM
say i went and bought an 80gb hard drive... connected it all up.... what else would i have to do? would i have to change the bios or something? i've been thinkin about this for a while...
a new harddrive is a bit costly just to install the sims though, lol

plug it all in
set main drive jumper to master
set new drive jumper to slave
boot up
that should be it, the hard drive should be auto recognised bu the computer so i dont think you need any BIOS changing

Well if you get a new internal hard drive, you first need to connect it and then follow the instrucions of your motherbord manual how to install a hdd in bios settings (it is different to every motherbord) You also need to format it after you installed it which is also described in the manual of the hard drive.

the bios should recognize it plug and play and it should be listed in my computer.
