well i uninstalled fs9, cleaned out a bunch of old programs and files from my computer---now im re-installing it, and i keep getting an error message saying that "either the file name is in use, or your hard disk is full" i am currently on disc 3, and it will not install anymore. i have no idea what has happened--the game ran just fine before i uninstalled it, i just thought it would be better if i cleaned my computer out some. now it won't even install. any ideas? thnx

Well, I'd do all of the following (you probably have already done most of these, but just in case):
1) Empty the recycle bin.
2) Defragment the drive
3) Check drive for errors
4) Do a "Disk Cleanup" (in the "System Tools" menu along with the defragmenter)
If that doesn't help, I'd throw in a check for any spyware.
