Re: Check the temp enviroment variable

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi, Vincent,

The computing "environment" has values that are changeable, or "variable"
and can be set for certain needs of different software programs. The
physical location of temporary storage is one of those environment
variables. It's identified by TEMP or TMP in the environment variables
settings.

Software applications use this location to create files "on the fly" that
are used while you are working in the application. Sometimes this physical
location gets too large and the computer can no longer use the folder
effectively. This may be what's happening.

Here's how to view and change those environment variables:

Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
Select the Advanced tab.
Select the Environment Variables button.
Check the location of TEMP and TMP (probably c:\temp, or c:\windows\temp, or
something).
Make sure the setting exists, first of all, then check that there is such a
location on your hard drive. Then, perhaps cleaning out the files will
clear up the issue.

Hope that helps--
