Help! I found my orginal problem. A file named Win386.swp just used up 99% of the available space on my hard drive. This file is found @ C;/win386.swp. When I looked at the properties of this file, under attributes archive is check marked.
Questions;
1. What is it?
2. What information is this collecting?
3. Is this a virus in the computer?
4. Could I delete this file?
If I don't sign on for a few days you will know I formated my hard drive again. I use this computer for the internet only, thank goodness it's not the other one. Down to 5.85MB available space on the hard drive. Might be going down soon...Heeeelllllpppppp
Scraching my head!
Thanks,
Doug

This is unreal! The file Win386.swp that was using all available hard disk space, finally allowed me to delete it. I tried to delete this file many times even in dos, it wouldn't give me access to delete. Something is not right! Think it must be a bug....Just don't know.
Any comments, out of ideas
Doug
