Hi Guys,
I am really not sure what the problem is related to. Since a couple of weeks ago, I have been losing all my hard drive memory in a matter of seconds. No matter what I get rid of and make space, eventually, all the available space disappears. I ran AA and nothing shows up. The problem seems to be only occuring while I am connected in my home and not at my office.
Hope you can help out and let me know if you need more info.
much appreciated.
