Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, so if I'm not, please
suggest where I should go.
Intermittently, a temporary file starts building in the c:/winnt/temp
directory when I boot my computer. It usually is called GLC*.tmp
(where * is a number such as 3, 4, etc.). It starts building at an
incredible rate until it takes up most of my available disk space.
Depending on if I catch it or not when it starts to happen, the files
range in size from 4 to 12 gig in size (i have 12.8 gb in free space
right now). It can get to about 12 gig in less than an hour, usually a
lot less. I can't delete them until I reboot the pc, because there is
a lock on the file. Only one is created per session. Sometimes when I
reboot, a new one is created immediately & begins getting larger &
larger. Sometimes a new one doesn't get created.. it seems to be
inconsistent. For instance, today it created the file 4 out of 6
times.
I had a new motherboard put in by my work's technician recently and
shortly after, the first GLC file appeared. I found it b/c the
performance suddenly seriously degraded, so I defragged & found the
file in the list of files that couldn't be defragged. I manually
deleted it and for at least 2 weeks it didn't happen again, until a
few days ago. Now it's seeming to happen a lot more frequently - and I
just don't know how that is possible.
I have a Dell Latitude CPx 600mgz process with 256mb RAM and 20 gig
harddrive. It's about 3 years old. I use it at home & at work both in
& out of a docking station. I have W2000, all up to date service
packs, etc. My company uses Norton Antivirus. I've seen some posts
about the GLC files being associated w/ NAV possibly, but I've found
nothing that helps me in this matter.
If anyone has any idea of what to do, let me know. I would go to my
company's technician but he's told me to defrag it on 3 diff occasions
now, once stating that I need to do it at least 10 times in a row and
that should fix the problem. So, obviously, I want to find a solution
w/o calling him if possible.
Thanks for your attention!
