Did you double click the word "Download" in stage 2? What happened?

I discovered one problem: FRAPS. Its video capture hotkey was set
to the same key as Bioshock's quicksave. The Fraps videos took
nearly 90 gigs!!!!!
BTW, It would be nice to see the size of the files in a folder
without look at its properties. Once, IIRC, this could be done from
the file explorer. I found the FRAPS problem by looking at the
folders one by one. Very time consuming.

I am not sure how secure Yahoo Anti-spy will make your computer?

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp
to Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk
CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the
latest System Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

It is likely that an allocation of 12% has been made to System
Restore on your C partition which is over generous. I would reduce
it to 700 mb. Right click your My Computer icon on the Desktop and
select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select
Settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left
until it reads 700 mb and exit. When you get to the Settings
screen click on Apply and OK and exit.

What are your antivirus and anti-spyware arrangements?

How large is your hard disk and how much free disk space?

I have a file that is being added to the Desktop on every start.
Bioshoch.pdf. After several starts, I have several copies. I
can delete them all, inlcuding the original file, but the
process continues. Soon I again have multiple copies on the
desktop. I have XP x64 pro.

(Also, this may be going on elsewhere in the system, but not so
visible. I just ran out of disk space on drive C, when I was
sure I had a very comfortable margin just a week ago.)
