First of all, you should defragment your disks.

As a matter of fact, disk defragmentation is a best way to free up disk space which do not do any harm to your computer but just help computer optimize performance. It can collect those fragments in the disk which should be blamed mainly for taking up space.

And, you can use the defragmenting program of Windows, if you have enough time and patience to wait for it. Probably, it takes more time in defragmenting than downloading a file. Thus, it is wise for you to choose <a target="_new" href="http://www.advanceddefrag.com">a/ third-party tool</a> to help you in this regard.

And then, you should clear up the temporary files of system and Internet.

They are nothing but junks. And, you can also do something to deal with virtual memory. If you move virtual memory from system partition, it can save a lot of disk space.

Right-click “My Computer”—“Properties”—“Advanced”—“Performance”, click “Settings”—“Advanced”—“Virtual Memory” and click “Change” to choose a partition.

Besides, you can also forbid using system restore function. To be honest, such function is useless. If your system has crashed, how can you enter into the interface to startup the system restore function?

Right-click “My Computer”—“Properties”—“System Restore”—“Turn off system restore on all the drivers” and then click “Apply” and “OK”.

Now you can turn off this unavailable function to free up disk space.

Hard disk space has virtually nothing to do with performance. If you had zero swap space, you'd notice degradation in performance, but you should be fine, since there's no possible way to accidentally delete the paging file (since you're using Windows).

You're confusing memory and storage space, by the way. A hard disk drive is a storage medium. Swap space is used as "fake memory", as I like to call it. When people refer to memory though, they generally mean RAM. The game probably required 128MB of RAM but you thought it was referring to hard disk space. That's probably why you were surprised to see it took up more space than you had anticipated.

"the program takes up 111mb of memory" means how much RAM it uses when it's running.

It probably take up alot more on disk (storage). Plus when you install it your O/S will make a restore point, use some temporary space and create some uninstall information behind the scenes.

You're fine, I like to keep AT LEAST 33% space free, but prefer 50%. Do defragmenter after big installs to help keep your HD clean and organized.

ALSO, DO NOT INSTALL LIMEWIRE if you dont want viruses. Or ANY program of the same nature. Theyre littered with spyware and viruses, as well as what you download is.
