You should give more details--why do you think that you are running out of disk space? What model computer and which operating system? It's hard to answer without more facts. You can research this at the MS site. Start with this article.

If you don't have enough hard drive space left on your hard drive, there's little point in trying to install any more software?
How much hard drive space do you actually have left?
Anyway... re the Windows Installer problem; Try downloading/reinstalling the Windows Installer.
Reboot the system after you've done so, then try doing whatever it was you were trying to do before, again?

I resloved the windows installer issue. I have 467 mb of free space. I have done eveything possible under the sun to try and free up some space.
I went in to delete files and remove some program. I went into add remove programs. even when removing programs I did not need.. I am at my wits end. There are porgrams which I removed that I have not used. I went into system tools and did a disk clean up still nothing. I need at 200mb of free space. Any suggestion on how to free up more space on my harddrive would be helpful. MY cd-rom drive no longer exisits. When I try to restore from a previous date it won't even let me do that. Again, any help would be appreciated, any questions you need answered to help me with this problem, I can do. I have a dell laptop XPS m140 with windows xp installed. MY hdd is 60gb.
Thanks,
Lee

Other than uninstalling more programs, and checking for/getting rid of any temporary files, I'm afraid there's not much else you can do - other than buying a larger capacity replacement drive.
I recommend using a program called CCleaner to check for/get rid of temporary/junk files.
