    hi, my computer only has 18gb capacity, so i need to limit my usage. I was wandering how i can compress my files of 700mb and other ones to make less usage with zipgenius. Or is there any other way without losing the most amount of quality. I didn't no where else to put this so i put it here. Also, is it possible (becausemy cd writer and re-writer is messed up) to create a virtual burner on the computer that will work? Thanks in advance.

    yes you can burn ye data to a cd,which use's a lot of cd's.the best way is to move ye data to a external hard drive..that way ye do not have to compress ye data.compressing files does not give ye that much more space on ye hd..ye can get a good ex-hd for around a hundred dollars.

    Make sure you have USB 2.0 or Firewire, because USB 1 is [bold]sloooooow[/bold].
