for a few weeks now my C drive where my xp pro is installed has been running out of space repetevly...

after 4 or more hours that the computer has been up all 3.5gb free on my C drive mysteriosly disappear

i checked almost everything, cleaned temp files,cache,logs and even put the virtual memory file on a seperate driver but at the end i still ended up with the same prob

the space is back once you reboot but it is very annoying having to reboot every 4 hours...

i have had this prob happen to me twice already, with another installation of xp earlier after about 6-7 months of the original installation

do you guys know if this is a bug or im doing something stupid?
my last option is to switch to win2k
