I guess once again I was looking for a simple solution. with my limited knowledge, I have to agree that the memory, of lack of, is at least a portion of the problem. funny, I always thought it might be a fan. I had one computer where the fan died and I didn't know it. Of course, it got hot and went wild.

so, I suppose I jut go into the Windows help directory and backing up files will be explained. I know a lot of people do this as a matter of course. I never have. I guess I've been lucky, but I really don't store a lot of stuff on a computer. The last couple of years, though, I've been lazy and let things accumulate. Maybe 150 pics, 100 documents and a whole bunch of stuff stored unintentionally. don't even know how that works. I just find it sometimes in windows Explorer. I usually just delete it on the spot.
