Maybe someone here can help me solve a very strange problem that has stumped all the PC service people that have looked at it or that I have described it to.
When I turn on my PC in the morning if I look at the properties for the C drive it shows about 8.5 gig free space. The drive space gradually goes down all day at a rate of about 5meg per minute until at 10PM I am down to about 4 gig free.
This is not related to my dsl connection because I can power off the modem and the space still dwindles. I have gone into Task master and closed down applications and processes a few at a time and have gotten down to about 10 system processes and crash the system if I close any more.
If I bring up the system in safe mode I still have this problem.
I have run current Norton virus scans and several adware eliminating programs. But the drive space keeps going
..........down
.................... down
........................................down.
Obviously some sort of temp files are being created that clear if I restart or power down because after a reboot I regain all my drive space. I have tried looking for any HUGE files but don't find any so this must be either creating a lot of small files or maybe the harddrive is just getting confused?
There are times I would like to leave the PC up for the weekend but I can't because I run out of hard drive space.
Any clues as to what is going on here?
