rudedog:<delete temporary inut files> I am already doing this. In fact, I have to thank Schwab's "technical" hot line, for making this a routine with me. I think I have been using windows 98 for two months now, and have been clearing all temporary files, as well as history files, four times per week. I forgot also to mention to you that I am indeed using IE4 as a broser. My software is all new, that is, purchased by me new, at Costco. In the beginning (early on) I did download some kind of an update, but this was from msft. Last night, very late, I did take rec of jerry miller as per 88357, and downloaded something. I should not have to be worrying about C drive space, since I store absolutely nothing. I suspect some kind of a virus, but I have always assumed that windows 98 along with the "plus" package from msft, would contain very good virus screeners. Perhaps I need to download improvements of same. Would it do any good to purchase, once again, a fresh copy of windows 98? I believe I was one of the first to buy it, on public availability. (I do not knowingly have a beta version.) All I want is a reliable trading machine; no storage of absolutely anything. I am sure you get the picture. I had local place increase my memory twice; they also installed a card US robotics modem 56K. The machine itself is a versa 6000H, and up to now has been an absolute workhorse. Finally, is there a simple way to actually "look" at whether miscellneius work files, are being generated, which have no purpose? Is there a site which I can pay to work this out? I do not want to throw the machine out. Hate solving problems this way. (I'm one of those which enjoys keeping old cars going nicely, and enjoys it.) But I can not afford to be thinking about this during trading. Thank you!!
