I'm afraid this will be a very simple question...
    When I try to open big programs like the MSDN Library or try to save a
document in Word, I receive an error message like this:
" " " " " " " "
The disk is Full trying to write to C::. Free some space on this drive, or
save the document on another disk
Try one or more of the following:
* Close any unneeded documents, programs, and windows.
* Save the document on another disk.
" " " " " " " "
The same happened when I tried to save on a new and formatted floppy drive
(only the C:: was replaced by a A::). For example, Word cannot AutoSave the
AutoRecovery
file.

I have 94Mg free on my 2.5Gg Hard Disk, my system is a Win98 running on a
Pentium166Mhz with 48Mg RAM. I already closed all the jobs (processes) (by
Ctrl-Alt-Deleting and ending-task) except word and explorer, but the answer
was the same every time. I'm
planning to soon replace the Hard Disk to a 10.2Gg one.

What do you think is the problem? The RAM memory (IMHO, I don't think so,
because I have only two programs running...)? Or the lack of space in the
Hard Disk (IMHO, I still don't think so, I think that 94Mg will be
sufficient to the system to do the paging -- remember that he cannot save on
the floppy drive...)? Maybe the problem is in something else (which
something?)? Until this the system runned smoothly, and my Drive is a very
clean one, I know all the programs installed, and they are mostly work
programs.

Thank You;
    Sami Garzon :)
