Hi,
i have the following problem. I have windowsXP and 2 partitions. When i start my computer there is 9gigabyte free space and when i continue working the free harddisk space decreases with gigabytes till in the end windowsXP says there's no space left on the C:\. I have a firewall, i have norton antivirus2002, trijan remover. And all say there is no virus present at my computer. I have turned off the restore function and hibernation and still this problem remains. Has anyone got a solution or idea what causes this trouble. Because when I restart the computer the harddisk space is back to 9 gigabytes. Please help me
