:lol:

Stupid Dell partnering with a spyware company that their own McAfee identifies as spyware and removes heheheeheheheheh

Anyways, 4GB on a MS Office 2003 :o Thats a bit too much . . . is it possiblity reporting files inside of the folders as 4GB (ie someone put 4GB worth of data in those folders that O2k3 reside in?) or are they part of a Custom/Full install of Office?
