Vista has started to eat Gigs
Hi there,
I have cleaned the disk, and there is currently only 1 restore point left.
The size of my harddisk is 74Gig, and I'm currently down to 9,20. I have
uninstalled a few programs to free space, but I still keep on losing space -
kb's and Mb's, not gigs as yesterday. Maybe I simply need a larger C drive?

Apart from anything else what is the size of your C (Vista) drive?
(Assuming the drive is 100gb even with 10gb free space you are allready
critically low on disk space, which will be affecting your sys)
Maybe Shadow Copy or Restore Points

Yesterday something strange happened: even though I have about 10 gigs of
free space on my hard disk, I suddenly got a message saying that the free
space was critically low. True enough: it was down to 200MB.. I restarted
the
system, and I was back to 10.1 gigs of free space. Then it started to go
down.. I ran several checks for viruses and other malware, but the
computer
is apparently clean. I defragmented the disk, which took the free space
down
to 2,4 gig, then restarted the PC twice and I got back my 10.1 gig (it
should
be higher because I also unstalled three or four programs to free space).
Today, however, the system has already lost 500MB from just being switched
on. I am a bit nervous for the future prospects...
I would really like to know what is going on, what are the processes that
eat my gigs? Two days ago, I received a major update from Vista. Could
that
be it? Can anybody help - for instance by suggesting how I can diagnose
the
problem?
