hi! i have a friend who i chat with on yahoo messenger and shes having problems viewing 
videos online or even saved to her hard drive due to very low h.d space. 
 she's got a pretty old computer that was custom built and isnt one specific brand 
at all, far from it.
i've helped her locate her video adapter graphic controller drivers and reinstall 
them due to her pictures being messed up, looking (grainy, and black and white) she 
now has all her color back at 16 bits so i know she doesnt need to update that.
here is the sad part :(
 she only has a maximum capacity of 1.96 gb on her h.d and only 192 mb left to use. 
i know, thats really low. her ram is 92 mb but im thinking thats not that bad, i 
used to run a computer when my good ones hard drive went out that only had 64 mb 
ram and i could watch videos fine. 
so im thinking that her skipping video is due to the low space alone, am i right?
 i know that the operating sytem alone takes up alot of her space that is gone but 
would it be that much? almost the full 2 gb's?
she doesnt have many things on her computer like extra programs and personal files 
so im thinking all the space is for system files for the o.s.
 does anyone know any way to get her videos to work without constant skipping or 
is it just impossible? i told her she needs to buy a better computer already and 
she knows its true. :p thanks for any help in advance
