Hello, a couple of days ago i got a new dell laptop with vista basic pre installed - the only new program i ave installed in firefox web browser, have downloaded probibly 1GB of media files but deleted then all. The laptop suposibly has a 120GB HDD but in 'computer' OS C: i only have 90GB of 101GB above that is 'Recovey' D: with 7GB free of 10GB - so where is the other 20GB of HDD? thanks PS: i have cleared restore points.

Hello, I recently had my XP PC go wrong so i took it to a PC guy who got it working again (said it was Hard drive failure) since i got it back i have noticed i am unable to open 'User Accounts' & 'System restore' in the 'Control Pannel' i double click on them and nothing happens/opens. Does any onw know why this is - or how i can resolve this problem? thanks, Stu.
