Ever since I got my ipod a few days ago I have been having to install and uninstall itunes and quicktime over and over again in my WindowXP. I finally got them both to work properly yesterday and I even decided to "clean out" some unnecessary programs I had installed such as MSN messenger and Irfanview. Now, when I go to defragment my disk, it says my C drive has less than 8% free space even though I have actually uninstalled programs and I had more than 75% free space a few days ago. My computer also won't let me do system restore. It also won't even let me uninstall ipod, itunes, and Quicktime from from my "add or remove programs" list. Unfortunately, the ipod, itunes, Quicktime, and my Norton anti-virus software now no longer work. I'm obviously very computer illiterate and any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.


Norton protected recycle bin on the system? Only you can see what's taking up space on your system.
