You have three options here. Buy more storage, delete files you don't need (if any) compress files. most likely you will need more disk space, unless you can bear to part with your pr0n collection.

this is on my laptop...it is fairly new but i dont know anything about it. I just got a fairly big pt database, so i guess that might be enough to mess it up. I didnt know pt took so much space. Is there any real soultion for laptops?

You could try using a freeware program like SCDiskInfo which would tell you where the disk space is being used. There might be a bunch of files you've forgotten about or a program you can uninstall to recover some space.

You should also check that you actually are out of space... PT is hardly the slickest piece of software out there.
