Computer Slow and loss of hard drive memory

[Terpi]

I''m posting this here, even though I'm using Windows 7.

My hard drive is using up a lot more space than it should and I can't seem to find out what the problem is. I've run Advance System Care Pro and a Hijack report was prepared.

I should have at least 80 gig free on my hard drive and yet I only have 11. At one point I had 15, then all of a sudden it corrected itself and gave me 50 gig.

I don't know if looking at the Hijack report will help, but would appreciate if someone could take a look at it.

Thanks:

Hi Terpi, is this the beta version of Windows 7?

[Terpi]

Yes, its Windows 7 RC. I have already ordered the final version when it comes out next month.

We cant help with beta software Terpi. What you are experiencing may be a reported (and fixed) bug. I have W7 RTM installed and have no such problem.

Microsoft created a special forum for beta users and I found someone else with a similar problem here. You could register and ask if that person found a solution for their problem.
