a friend formatted his hard drive and installed win98se....it was a small 4.3 gig drive.

he was reinstalling some of his programs and told me about something odd.

he is using ms money and it wouldn't setup.

I looked at his computer and there were almost 3 gigs free but when I tried to install ms money (under 2 Mb.) a screen came up saying that he didn't have enough hard drive space to install ms money.

the setup told us there was less than 3Mb but actually there was at least 3 Gb.

anyone have any thought about this?

thanks guys...I never did figure out what was wrong but I did figure out a way to get it to work....

instead of using the install disk we just copied all the files to his C drive....with no problems.

clicked on the exe. file and the darn thing worked....I still don't understand that as some files had to be unpacked.

must have been a problem with the install program on the disk.

I did learn one thing...ms money only needs 3 files to work...the exe file, the config file, and the .bak file.

have a good day y'all.
