Thank you shenan , i think im gonna try that..lots of old things on
this comp taking up space anyhow. Now before i reinstall do I need
to wipe the drive or will the windows cd overwrite everything??

Be sure your backups are CURRENT!

Truthfully, a zero-write on the drive itself is probably a good idea *in
case* there is some root kit on there. Just get the hard disk drive
manufacturer's diagnostics utility media from their support/downloads area
and use it to perform the zero-write to the drive. Then you can use the
installation media (you need true installation media) to create partition(s)
and format/install, etc.
