Rather than reply to each response, I will respond here as follows:

First, I have tried many of the suggestions and I ran CCleaner and am now up
to 461MB free space of 37.2 GB Capacity and System Restore is activated
again. Thanks to all.

I have a 40GB hard drive with 256 MB Ram, Pentium 4 1.8gb processor using
Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. I don''t know how to tell how
hd is formatted. I believe I have only one partition. I also have a zip
drive, DVD drive and CD-RW drive.

Before my original post, I had used Add/Remove to remove Dell Picture Studio
and a couple minor, small programs I had installed like Spyhunter. I was
only up to about 90MB free space.

Some of my settings are:

1. Automatic Update On - I have the OE update Gerry cited.
2. System Restore - was turned off due to Low Disk Space, now activated and
set at 9%. System Restore shows only one restore point which was this
morning at 8:46am which is after the Low Disk Space error messages started.
3. Temporary Internet Files - cleaned by CCleaner, set at 128MB
4. Recycle Bin - was at 10%, now at 5%. I dont use Norton AV, am using
Windows One Live Care because Norton Internet Security had corrupted my OE
mail folders.Last week, I removed Norton and added a new identity in OE
which works fine.
5. Turned off Hibernate function as Shanen suggested.
6. Cookies - I excluded this box when I ran Ccleaner since my cookies were
not functioning. What is the correct setting to allow persistent cookies so
I can go sites will remember my User ID and passwords for those sites I
choose?

I will run Disk Defragmenter next and remove the Uninstall files you guys
mentioned if still have a problem.
