Thanks MAC,
The info was quite helpful. I am no longer pulling my hair out trying to work out
why i do not have a "convert.exe" on my system or installation disk. Funny, but I
even asked Microsoft support the question and they could not tell me the answer.
Using Delindex did not give me much more space but deltree c:\_restore did!!
It did not solve any of the problems i had though.
I normally use Norton AV and some other anti spam/spy software to try to keep my
system clean.
Ultra WinClean 2000 is an old program that I used to use on my Windows 98 se. I have
been using it to good effect in ME.
I seem to have cleared one problem by suing the systems own file and deleting a program
directory. Using HP psc2100 series printers i have the software installed for it.
It has never really work correctly.
Scanning through my startup under the help and support tool i found that these programs
were still being accessed after they were uninstalled. So I have deleted the entire
directory.
Back to Ultra WinClean 2000, I was able to remove all the links to the program and
I no longer have the problem of being unable to shut down my system without the error
message "this program is not responding".
I am still left with an ANNOYING problem. On startup, i get an error message, "this
application is already running". It refers to the application called indicator. I
do not now why as yet but I may post a new discussion topic about this.
Thanks again.
Steph
