I followed the steps that Rotary recommended. Thank you, but the DVD still fails to start. I'll try to geive you guys as much information as I can. Though I am not as well aclimated to a computer as I would like to be, I know the difference between MB and GB. I defrag regularly; as a matter of fact, I just formatted my harddrive and ran my recovery program. I am using a Sony Vaio, RS530G. I had no problems when I used the three free programs for 1 Click DVD Copy. I began to encounter problems after activation. When I press the 'START' BUTTON, I get the following message: "You do not have 4 MB of free space on any of your hard disks. Please remove some files and try again."
PC specs: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

lOCAL dISK 185.95gb
Sum of Hard Disks:

Thus far, I am only trying to Burn DVDs.
I use Real Play and Windows Media.
I get stopped at the START button irregardless of the media I am attempting to use.
I last defragged on03/25/2005.
I hope that I have prodived the information that you need in order to help me alleviate this problem. Again, I certainly do appreciate your help. TKU

1,024 Kilobyte (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)

RLC,

I questioned your error message because of the size - do not become so easily offended or we won't get anywhere.

NEXT: When you start a thread and want pple to help, you CANNOT BEGIN A SECOND THREAD TO ANSWER. We have to jump all over the forum to try to make sense of anything.

You need to post this information on your original thread and allow this one to close.

Here is a link to your other thread -
