Special Forces...WTF.... Why are games getting harder to install.

I coppied this off of file front.

Hard Disc Space

Windows will require additional free hard drive space for its operating system
(virtual memory). If you encounter the following message in an error dialog:
"Ran out of virtual memory", free up some more hard drive space.

To install Battlefield 2 Version 1.2 you will need approximately 2.0 GB free hard
disk space for the full patch or 1.5GB for the incremental patch, plus space for
saved games.

If you have Battlefield 2 installed to a different hard disk than where you have
Windows installed then approximately 375Mb (full patch) or 100Mb (incremental patch)
of the required free space must be available on the hard disk where Windows is
installed.

To install Battlefield 2: Euro Force you will need approximately 800Mb free hard
disk space plus space for saved games.

That's just technology. It's only natural that software requires more and more space to download.

Free up some space or upgrade your old hdd to something bigger.

Obviously...but that costs money,sorry about that lanquage but its very frustating.I have an 80 gig and did really get it partioned proporly in size ratio.So I need to work around it,i guess try deleting stuff.Can you put stuff like spyware programs and virus programs,dvd programs on the drive that windows is not on.?

Thanks

Depends on 'what' it is. Data files are absolutely no sweat. Most applications I can think of give you a loadup option as to where you want them too.

If you have a drive thats been partitioned, I think I'd just reformat it to a single partition and reload windows from there.

Not being smart, just buy another disk, here's one for $57, may not be the best but its cheap as chips.

I had the same problem my Windows is on a 10GB partition, I cleared out some prorgams that had forced me install to C: and I was good to go.
