Unlike XP you can't set the amount for system restore on Vista.
This may not be your problem, but give this a try and see if you reclaim some disk space.
Control panel.
Performance information and tools,
Open disk cleanup
when that comes up click the more options tab.
Where it says System restore and shadow copies, click cleanup and follow that through.
Someone posted a way to get into the registry and set the amount of system restore, but I for one am chicken to go into the registry so I do it this way once or twice a week and it works for me.

I was just bored one day and just felt like checking my current disc space. I have a "200 GB" but actually 179 GB hard drive. The last time I checked my disc space, I had about 120 GB of used space. Somehow, an additional 30 GB got added and I have 150 GB used up. Knowing something was very wrong, I checked everything. I defragged, cleaned and uninstalled some crap files, and gained about 2 GB at most. Then I scoured my C Drive. I checked all the Properties of my files and soon started to check my C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows file. The file itself is about 31.67 GB and I checked inside. There was only 20 MB of stuff. So I tried to find out if there was 30 GB of hidden files there, nothing, just the 20 MB of files. Please help me, I'm starting to freak out that I have viruses and stuff. I might not be looking in the right spot but I do know something is wrong.
