So I'm on my laptop, which is Windows Vista. And it pretty much pisses me off on a regular basis, the laptop itself is good (it's an HP) but I bought it for school so it's configured to the school network, which causes ALOT of problems. One that started up today, is it won't save anything. Not even in my C Drive, which is pretty much the only place on my laptop which is safe from being synchronised to the school network. I'll try to save something, and it says I do not have enough quota. Okay, so I try deleting some stuff, and it won't delete stuff either because it says there is not enough quota. WTF!!!

Also, my itunes is playing up. When I try to open it, it says that it is on a locked disk and I do not have the write permissions. This has never happened before, and I'm really missing my itunes. I've tried installing and re-installing it, the same thing still happens. Gah!

Does anybody know what I can do about these problems? Aside from kicking my schools' arse for fucking everything up and giving me pretty much no control over my own fucking laptop. I've tried looking in the Windows Vista Help & Support files but they pretty much suck.

Are you a power user or an admin on your computer? Because deleting stuff temporarily takes up space on your C drive, that's why the quota thing comes up. Try changing to an admin, then removing the quota limits.

I'm admin... APPARANTLY. It sure doesn't feel like it. But thanks, I'll try removing quota limits. If it lets me
