You could get an external hard drive to store them, but that could be a little expensive. Also, you could put them on DVD-RW's (re-writable). You can add and delete stuff from the DVD's. It also sounds like your computer might not have enough memory to run all of that stuff. If that is the problem, you may want to consider upgrading and buying more memory. It is probably low memory if you still have a decent amount of space left on your hard drive but the computer runs slow. Hope I helped!

If I had to venture a guess I'd say you need to get the movies and TV shows moved to a disc and then removed from your computer. I don't know how much space the songs take, I doubt they are a big problem. The pictures could be moved to disc also.

If you are using windows XP just go to my pictures...or anywhere else you have things stored.
Right click on the folder and on the right side of
your screen there will be a "copy to cd" choice.

Easy as pie. You can watch them anytime and you have free space on your computer.

When you are done run your disc cleanup and defragment your drive. Found under "start", "all programs", accessories, system tools. :)
