John,

   First thing: click on the "my computer" icon and look for your "C" drive
icon.  Right-click on that and select "properties"; look for a button
marked "disk cleanup".  click on that.  Let it delete your browser cache
and all temporary files, as well as empty your recycle bin..

   Next: open up outlook express and make certain that you don't have
"delteed" files still in a "deleted messages" folder, purge that folder if it
isn't empty.

   That should get you back enough space to get running again.

   Next: check the Sunday ads for Best Buy, CompUSA, for a new hard
disk - most likely an "ATA" drive.. Expect to pay about $.50 - .75 per
gigabyte.Since you're running W98, you'll want to stay with the smaller
drives - 120GB if you can get that small any more - you'll have to
partition it into <40GB segments anyway (the software to do that
usually comes with the drive.) 

   After you've added the partitioned drive (you'll probably end up
with adding "E", "F", and "G" at the minimum - with "G" being the new
ID for your CD reader/burner) drag as many of your user files as
possible to one or more of your new drives.  _Yes, it is possible to
drag your entire "my documents" folder to another drive.)

   After that, go to www.mozilla.org and download the Thunderbird
application.  It does more-or-less (mostly more - of the good things
and ~much~ less of the bad things.) the same as Outlook, but without
the MickeySoft-induced bizarre behaviors - not to mention it's more
secure.

Ernest;  Being a complete computer dunce, the old windows 98 w/Outlook Express that I have, finally posted a note that the disc is full.  The C - drive memory says that the system resources are 86% free.  I don't have a clue where to go next and free up the Out Express system.    This note posted of wife's computer, hope she doesn't see me using it, she says I kill ever thing.  JohnD
