Problems & Suggestions
Problem Disk free space is only 0% on drive D:.
i do want to say that i've spent alot of @#$%^& time trying to fix this with no avail. It's so cool how many people you guys have helped on this forum with this issue, and I really want to give props to Bookworm for all her amazing efforts. I'm crossin my fingers on you guys!!
oh and if anyone has any suggestions as far as the drive D:... alot of the windows profiles and defaults (internet temps and duplicate sound drivers and etc) are already routed to my smaller drive D instead of C

for god knows why..... anyways, the sound is my real problem.
