I downloaded the demo setup file but when I run the file, I get a message stating there is not enough room to install. I've switched the file from my I drive (which has about 1 gig) to my J drive which has 40 gig or so, so I assume it's not a matter of there being too little space.
Is it somehow trying to install automatically to a C drive which I don't have?
How can I install the file?
(If there is a more appropriate place to make this point do you know where?)
Thanks,
Alex

Wakain: Defragment means to break up clumped to gether files in a drive. This is used to free up space. This is the simplest way I can explain it. To access the defrag program, go to:
"All programs" button
Accessroies (At the top)
System tools
And look for a bunch of coloured blocks. This is the defrag program. Right above their is a "Disk Cleanup" Program. This can get rid of unessecary files, i you want to use this as well.
Inside the defrag program, click on "Analyze" If the program tells you your drive needs to be defraged, click the "defragement" button, and wait till the defrag is done. |
