I have had my notebook computer for only 3 months and I am not a computer savvy person. I keep getting pop-ups about low back-up space on D. Also I get pop-ups every day that internet explorer is not working. I have no idea what to do. Can you tell me?

EDITOR'S NOTE: What specifically do the internet explorer popups say?

I have to echo Any's valid comments (2nd)! I understand & welcome Windows warning you about low space on the system drive (normally C) but you should be able to turn-it off (at least) for non-system drives, and even customize the cut-off points and drives to ignore.

I have four internal drives and at least 1 USB drive. The archive ones are often low on space, but its not critical, and I don't want warnings about it. Does anyone know if they improved this warning feature in Vista (I use XP).

I am working ith Windows XP and I keep getting the pop up's that say Very Low Disk Space. It is so low that I need more space to even defrag the proper way. I have ran every clean'up there is and have deleted everything I can. It says that I have 99% space on Drive D, but I have no Idea how I would start using that instead of Drive C. I am so frusterated with it.. I can't even upload pictures! I really don't have that much stuff on my computer. I am just in need of some serious help! :)

I have 4 partitions defined on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and used for C: (Win XP Home Sp3); D: Page File only; E: Program Files and F: User Data (Settings and Documents).

The D: drive containing the page file is left with less than 80mb free out of 2Gb. Is there a way to make Win XP ignore only warnings issued by my D: and still be enabled for the other drives or at least C:?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't think so... it's all or nothing.

Get the low disk space warning on the C: Drive. However, this is not the case with at least 40 GB's free. Also, computer can seem sluggish when running a few programs, I'm assuming this is due to low RAM. Error message comes up when this is happening. Are they related somehow? Anything I can do to fix it? Thanks for any help!

I got this last night- deleted everything it recommended as well as temporary files. Now my computer when powered up turns on, gets right to the start up screen and cuts off and then back on. It will do this forever never actually getting to my desk top. I think I am F'd.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Can you boot into Safe Mode and try a System Restore?
