sounds as if your system only has a 40gb hard drive, in this case the options open to you are delete some programs or files or buy a second hard drive
personally i owuld say a second hard drive is the best bet as they are not too expensive, so the first thing is are you using a laptop or a desktop?Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

Buy an external hard drive.
40GB is tiny -you can get bigger USB sticks these days0 -
something like this would be good

Don't switch off System Restore-just delete the old Sys Restore points. It retains the most recent copy.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
