 |
|
I keep getting a message that recovery file D is full. Is it safe to delete some of those files? I have cleaned up and deleted all that I could elsewhere, and turned off automatic file backup, but this message continues to pop up. It's getting annoying.

| your computer likely came with a recovery drive with an installer for windows on it, if you have your discs for your computer (including windows) I would go ahead and reclaim that space, partition magic or a linux live cd with gparted can do this for you. |

Well, I have Vista, so I can't use those links. That little box is driving me crazy, the way it keeps popping up! Thanks, though.

I tried to click on that link, and I am reaching the site, only to be greeted by an error message. Address not found by Firefox.

I got as far as the instructions to click the radio button Use the following DNS server addresses, and to type in OpenDNS. For some reason, I can't type in that field. Nothing happens. Do you know why?

Yes. The cursor blinks in the field for typing, but nothing appears as I type.

I just tried again, with numlocks on, and then numlocks off, and still can't type in that field.

Do you mean re-install the entire system?
