    resolved...thx very much james :* so i've done like this:
    1)loged in to dashboard >settings>general
    2)i have replaced the url's (in my case http://areafreak.com/wordpress/ )
    with the main url (http://areafreak.com/), and clicked save. very importand that you do these step before moving the files.
    3) now after pressing save, wordpress wont function normaly until you move all the wordpress files into the Root directory(in my case, wp-admin didnt move into the root so i right clicked on the folder and set permission to 777, then it moved. Do this ith other files that dont moove)
    4)now you may delete the empty wordpress folder and type your main website url into the browser and VoilĂ ....
