Thanks for your reply. I looked and found that the machine had come
pre loaded with everything imaginable filling the hard drive. as she
did not have a lot of data or programmes on the computor I started a
fresh and formatted the drive. aftr re installing everything she needs
the system 32 folder is less than 700M. alls well but thanks.
