Error When Starting DS

Whenever I try to start DS, I get this error:

Warning!

There is insufficient free disk space to safely run Docking Station. You need 75Mb free on your main system drive, and 32Mb on the drive where you installed the game.

Do you want to run the game anyway?



I just started getting this message a few days ago. Nothing interesting has happened during that time, all I've done since then is download the Microsoft Visual C++ program and I did get a Blue Screen of Death at one point, but I'm not sure it's connected.

But I'm not sure it's my computer that is having this problem. I can check the processes and I'm not running anything that would gobble up memory, and when I play the game it runs just fine. I'm not getting any errors for anything else, not even programs like Blender or Sims 2. I can run DS, Photoshop, Blender, and five different Google Chrome windows at the same time and everything runs perfectly. My computer does not have memory issues.

So all I can think is that my game appears to be "crying wolf". Has this happened to anyone else before? Do I need to reinstall? I'm not having any problems in-game (that I know of) but this still worries me.

happend to me sometime,and i know it's typical ds to be strange >_>'

my disc space right now is quite crowded *not that it would give me any message about "need to clean disc space ect" and so far,my ds dosn't do that now either...but i know i encountered it a few time on my win ME *i still have no solution for why or what cause it ^^' * i can't recall i did anything special when fixing mine ^^'

im having prob with my c2 on this machine *win xp,on my win me it runned great*

the prob is that everytime it want to save,i have to manualy click a message *dunno what its say's exact in english and when pressing ok everything flows on,til next time it going to save,making me unable having a wolfling >-<

anyhow,ehem thats off topic and im gonna probely post that in my own help section ^^'

I get that error a lot, too. :/ It comes up whenever DS thinks there isn't enough space on your hard drive to run it. If you want to get rid of it quickly, I suggest emptying the recycle bin or doing a hard drive cleanup, but I hear it will go away on its own after a while.

As far as I know, it doesn't seem to affect anything in the game, and it's a harmless error.

I find this error to be rather random. I'm got hundreds of GB's of HD space free, and more than enough free RAM, and yet it will occasionally yell at me for no apparent reason. :p It doesn't seem to alter the functionality of the game in any way- not even a performance hit from my experience.

Happens to me all the time. Ignore it.

That happened to me, ignored it, nothing happened.
Works fine, but it might go away and then come back, ignore it again.



in the spring you gotta let the flowers fully blossom
