I have a question about Remove DoubleSpace/DriveSpace from memory:

I wanted to compress my hard disk. Drive space shows on programas, accesories. But when I click trying to activate the feature, it doesn't show at all the hard drive. It shows only a: (floppy). Does it mean already, the feature has been removed? If so, how do I get it back? I need to compress this drive, because I ran out of space. Please, help. Thanks.

If you go to Start - HELP and in the search box, enter "drivespace". That will take you to a link on using drivespace3.

There you will find a short page about using drivespace3. It will tell you everything you need to know about how to install the compressed drive support if it is missing or not installed. How to use it to read and compress diskettes, and how to read and uncompress disk drives. It also points out that with Windows ME you can not compress disk drives.

The maximum drive size supported by DriveSpace is smaller than is needed to install and run a typical Windows ME system.

Trying to run a compressed drive with Windows ME would just make the system too slow. And many of Windows ME's files are already compressed. And you have the built in Compressed folder support that you can use. By making a compressed folder, you can move large compressible text files into them to save disk space.

Try running System Tools - Disk CleanUp utility. Try getting rid of excess MPG and picture files. Or if necessary, get a bigger disk drive.
