patio: tried to cleanup, then did a defrag, then tried again. No biggie though. I can't remember the specs, not my computer. It was running well enough. When I first got it, it wouldn't even boot and I went through *censored* and back troubleshooting this thing. Works now. It was an Emachines POS. Next time I'll try chkdsk /r from the command prompt in safemode if the disc cleanup doesn't work. thanks.
