It had 40GB on it, but only 100MB available and I couldn't figure out why. I first tried WinDirStat to find the largest folder & what's causing the issue, but it froze everytime it got to a certain folder. Well, I ran CCleaner, and found out that there was a temp file of 26GB! I couldn't believe it -- it took CCleaner about 5 hours to clean the whole thing, due to the size -- but now, that PC is running great. Thanks for the tip!

Also needed is hijackthis, shootthemessenger and more... there are a million Microsoft virus/bots/trojans/ malware/backdoors/exploits. Much of the world, including Microsoft with their 15,000 FreeBSD Hotmail servers, and, the Microsoft.com and MSN.com 15,000 Linux Akamai servers, are running the alternatives that are IMMUNE to the million Microsoft virus/bots/trojans/ malware/backdoors/exploits. Now, with the Storm virus/trojan/Worm/bot army infesting ~50 million Microsoft systems in a huge bot army poised to attack, it is nigh impossible to detect and cleanse a computer.
