its because your C: Drive might be full. you have to uninstall or delete un-used programs.

And or back up your data taking the stuff your not using all the time off it to free space.

Run the disk cleanup wizard...
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk cleanup, also uninstall any programs you no longer use.
If you are still short of space back up some of your files to DVD or external storage.

do photos take alot of space?

a fair bit, but video takes up the most, followed by music.

Depends if you're a bit David Bailey when it comes to photography.

have you got a d drive? (hard disk not DVD), with windows recovery files on it? if so, turn off system restore on that drive.

check the free space on all drives by right clicking in explorer, then properties.

the date (D) says 90.7mb used and 32.2gb free

this sounds like good news??

D is empty, so it's another drive causing the message.

and the c: drive?

e: drive if you have one (that isn't a dvd drive).

C says 32.5 gb used and 224kb free
