Hi Marleen,
Are you referring to space used on your hard drive? If so, you should
know that all versions of Vista have feature like system restore, called
'previous versions', that backs up every file that is modified or
deleted in hidden disk space. In the basic version, the option to use
these files is disabled. Both 'previous versions' and 'system restore'
are turned on and off together. The only way to free up the disk space
is to turn both off. This will delete all the backed up data and the
restore points as well.

p.s. This information came from an article entitled 'The Vista Backups
That You Can't Have'. http://pcpitstop.com/news/dave/2007-04.asp

Hi,
We have Vista Basic, can somebody explain the difference between 387 MB and
1,10 GB indicated above ? Had XP on old PC from which 70% full of downloads -
updates and patches from Microsoft, no need to say there was no room left to
work with it and want to prevent this happens to new PC, don't have the money
to buy each 2 years a new one.
Many thanks
