Hello,
I have win xp home ed. SP2 and when I go to "C" properties I see as used
space 11.1 GB, but if I open "C" then "select all" -- showing hidden
files and folders -- I have a total of 7.5 GB in used space, how come
that I have a difference of almost 3 GB?? Does anyone know?
Thanks so much.

Additional hard drive space is used by the Page File, the Hibernation File,
and the System Restore file.

What is the source of the game that is going to be installed? Is it a
download? If so, then it seems to want at least 260 MB of space that is
available in a temporary folder, such as Temporary Internet. Does this
space exist, it might if it is emptied. Or it could be expanded in size.
But if the source of the game is a cdrom, then there is something wrong
with the game's installation or set up instructions unless it requires
the same amount of temporary space. This is what is probably happening. |
