Hi Tracy,
I think you've been confused by the word "memory". It's used to describe
many things. Technically, what you just did does increase the memory in
your computer, but that has nothing to do with how much memory your hard
drive can hold. The hard drive has a fixed amount of room on it, and the
only way to change that is to physically exchange the hard drive for another
one which has more room for memory inside it.

There is not enough info in your post to tell for sure, but you might be
able to get enough room on your hard drive by using the cleanup tools. Go
To Start, Programsm Accessories, Ssytem Tools, and then click on Disk
Cleanup. Follow the instructions on screen. It will not remove anything
that can crash your computer. That will delete a lot of files from your
hard drive.
   If you cannot get enough room that way you might have to get a hard drive
with more "memory" inside it.

Come back if you still have problems and someone will tryt to help.
