Solve : Essential folders/files to run Windows 98?

Answer» <html><body><p>I am running a Pentium I 133 MHz machine with a 300 GB HDD partitioned into C, D, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/e-236626" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about E">E</a>, F. It has been running fine, Internet access O.K., etc. but I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/continue-409821" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONTINUE">CONTINUE</a> getting this message: Your C; drive is running out of space." I would delete or move many files to correct this issue BUT I don't know what files/folders to move/delete. Is there somewhere a list of essential files need by Windows 98? Thanks for any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/help-239643" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HELP">HELP</a>.For Windows to run properly, I would stay <strong>out </strong>of <em>C:\Windows</em> and to keep all your programs, stay out of <strong>C:\Program Files</strong><br/><br/>I suggest running <a href="https://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp">CCleaner</a> to delete your temp files (and the contents of your recycling bin).<br/>Windows Disk <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cleanup-918632" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CLEANUP">CLEANUP</a> might help clear some space as well.<br/><br/>You can also move some files from C drive to the other partitions in order to get more <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/free-240724" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FREE">FREE</a> space in C drive.Quote from: J Guy on May 19, 2008, 08:32:56 AM</p><blockquote>Your C; drive is running out of space.<br/></blockquote><br/>Just to be clear... Have you verified the C: drive is running out of space?<br/>What is total size of "C:" and how much free space is left? In MegaBytes or GigaBytes not percentage(s).Win98 pretty much needs all of them to run...this isn't the place to be trimming things out for hard drive space.You can configure Windows 98 to place "swap" file on another partition, reboot, then delete the old one on the "C:" drive.<br/><br/> o Right click on "My Computer", System Properties window appears.<br/> o Left click on "Performance" tab, it's page comes to foreground.<br/> o Left click on "Virtual Memory" button, Virtual Memory windows appears.<br/> o Left click on "Let me specify my own virtual memory settings".<br/> o Left click on pull down list for "Hard disk" entry.<br/> o Select a logical drive for file and specify "Minimum", "Maximum" size for swap file.<br/> o Select "OK", "OK" again to exit and reboot.Somehow i don't think the swapfile is creating the issue...but without more info on what's on C: we'll never know.</body></html>
