Recently Windows has been reporting im out of free space VERY often, but i have about 700megs left on HD. I have a fixed swap file, 6.4gig WD Drive. Any other info needed?, any ideas?

How big is your Swap file??
Next question: Have you defragged your HD recently, or at all??
Doing so might fix the problem.
There could be a problem with the free space on the drive (Windows may be reporting it incorrectly). If you can, get a copy of Nortons SystemWorks 2000. That should tell you if there is such a problem. Good luck.
