ok, when you were promtpted to compress files, which ones did you choose?

meilah25@yahoo.c · 12-24-2006, 07:04 AM

the (C

folder

but then there are options as to what in the c drive.

What I do know is that when prompted and I chose the C drive, it said " isk clean up is calculating how much space can be freed up on your hard drive." Then is said on the bottom of the page, "compressing old files". I am afraid to do it again to see what happened after that, but to my knowledge that was all.

I believe I did the entire C drive

well I got it to turn blue, but I haven't figured out how to decompress them though. However, on my pc they are still useable when compressed.

yes they are still useable but I feel this has resulting in me losing my CDRW/DVD drivers and Windows running slow. I don't want to take up too much of your time, I really do appreciate you trying to help me. If you come with something else I can do please let me know.

well, I found out how to turn them back to being decompressed. The answer isn't easy though. You have to highlight files, then right click, press properties, advanced, and uncheck the compress box.
