Nobody can help if you don't give us any information. What does "i can
save
or delete anything on my d drive" mean? What happens when you try? If
you
get an error message, please quote it verbatim.

Cannot copy aol: Access denied

What is the D drive? A hard drive partition? CD drive?
Its my hard drive.  My computer has 2 hard drives the C drive is 15
gigs and the D drive is 80 gigs.  Thanks for any help im not to
computer savy

How much free space is on drive D?   When did this problem start?  Could you
ever save or copy files to that drive/partition?  If you could what changed
between the time things worked and when they didn't.

The error messages you quote mention "aol".  Does this happen with any
files/folders or are you moving/copying/deleting some aol related files?

It could be an issue of ownership and permissions.  From Start | Help and
Support search on ownership and then on permissions for info on this or see
these articles:
