CAUSE
There is insufficient disk space on the hard disk that contains your Windows TEMP folder.
There are fragmented or cross-linked files.
WHAT TO TRY
There is insufficient disk space on the hard disk that contains your Windows TEMP folder.
You need to optimize Windows and free some disk space. There should be at
least 10 megabytes (MB) of free space on the hard disk that contains your
temporary folder.
NOTE: The minimum amount of free disk space may depend on your
particular situation.
To remove temporary and printer spool files that may be taking up space on
your hard disk, use the following steps:
- Restart your computer to a command prompt. To do this, do one of the following:
- In Windows 95, press F8 when you see the "Starting Windows 95" message, and then choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only from the Startup menu.

- In Windows 98, restart your computer, press and hold down the CTRL key after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST), and then choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only from the Startup menu.

- Type "set" (without quotation marks) and press ENTER. Note the location of the TEMP variable.
- Change to the folder noted in step 2. For example, if TEMP is set to C:\Windows\Temp, type the following line and then press ENTER:
cd\windows\temp
- Delete any temporary files in this folder. Temporary files typically have a .tmp extension. To delete these files, type the following line and then press ENTER:
del *.tmp
NOTE: You should not delete these files from within the Windows
95/98 graphical user interface (GUI), because Windows 95/98 or a Windows-
based application may be using one of these files.
- Type the following line and press ENTER to change to the spool folder:
cd\windows\spool\printers
- Delete any spool files in this folder. Spool files typically have an .spl extension. To delete these files, type the following line and then press ENTER:
del *.spl
