You sure that you deleted file in the hidden temp folder, under Documents and Settings/User Name/Local Settings?

Also, have you run a virus scan or adware/malware scan, lately?

What version of Windows are you running?

If XP, open My Computer, click on Tools, then Folder Options, then View.

Scroll down to Hidden files and folders, and click in the circle to the left of Show hidden files and folders.

While you are there, uncheck the box to the left of Hide extensions for known file types.

Click on Apply, then on OK.

Then go back into the folder I mentioned in my last post.

You may also want to dump everything in the Internet folder, at the location, too.

How big is the hard drive? Have you looked at the files on there to see if there are any large files that aren't needed?

Run a virus scan. Have you actually checked to see what is on that hard drive? It is an extremely small hard drive in this day and age.
