Lately I've noticed that every time I hit F5 to compile and run a project DBP is using disk space to the point where I'm about to run out of space in drive C:. After running the project about 10 times it went from about 1 GB to about 90 MB. Not sure if that's normal. The strange thing is that if I restart the computer I get some of the disk space back. Anyone noticed the same issue?
Also recently I noticed that if I use the web browser Firefox, whenever I copy text from the DBP editor I can't paste it directly to the editor unless I first paste it to some other external program such as Microsoft Word. Then I have to copy it from Word back to the DBP editor. It's really strange. Any ideas? Thanks!

First: I think you may have a virus, I've definitely never noticed anything like this, and can't think of any reason why that would happen.

Second: I have no idea what you're asking. I noticed that when I eat peanut butter, sometimes the mail man comes, unless the garbage man comes. Then I have to wait for the mail man to come. That's about all I got out of your question.

Isn't that only 10MB?

No that would be 990MB.

It sounds like a temporary file issue where the OS is clearing them out on reboot. Check if your temp file location is full and manually clear it out so you don't have to reboot.

I think the issue here is that the user only HAS 1GB free where you need at least 2.5GB~ for your OS alone with all the other bloat ware if on a laptop to run... Why have you only got 1GB free? or are you talking about System RAM?

Try using IE instead then.. [Or another browser but I use IE because... it works...]
