C:\ space disappearing...

Hi!

I have a very mysterious and annoying problem. The space on my system
drive continuously disappears, requiring a reboot. When newly booted, I
have 2,2GB of frfee space. I can use the computer for a about a day
but, depending on the activity, a message indicating low space is
shown, and a reboot is required to free it up again. If I play
CounterStrike I belive the space is drained faster than if the computer
just idles...

I can see hidden files etc. so it's not that!

I have checked the space of all folders on c:\ including root, and they
DON'T increase, even though the total amount free space on C:\
decreases...?!?!

It's not the pagefile nor the hiberfile, they all remain the same size!

I've heard of hidden outlook and IE files etc. but I am not sure that's
it either... I don't even have to use outlook to get the problem. I am
also using Firefox (not IE).

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance!
