RAM memory is NOT the same thing as hard drive space used.

Oh but I do know a lot about computers and I had no idea about what you just said I understand what you said actually and that RAM stands for Random Access Memory.

Just because you know what RAM stands for doesn't mean you know what it does or what its for.
Here is a fun fact for you. Every time you turn off your computer or restart it everything that is stored within the RAM is erased.
And another thing. File size does not matter when you are talking about RAM. What matters is what the program you are running calls. So don't mix up HD space and memory.
As for your file size thing. Could be a virus. Some viruses are known to increase file size to fill up HD space.
Could also be just an error with the HD adresses. You should check scandisk for errors.

everything is too paranormal to this guy *laughing out loud*
But, Grega is right. You probably have some virus in your PC.
If Scandisk don“t work, try to download a free antivirus, or something.
If you are running out of time (and disk space), just backup what you really need and format your computer. Sometimes is faster than finding the cause.

McAfee does not detect all the virusses for my part, at least at my side. I've once had over 63 virusses on my system without knowing until I installed NOD (installed Avast after I got mad at NOD for making my system to slow). McAfee might be a good anti-virus but still doesn't work on some virusses. I would recommend reinstalling Windows if you really want to get rid of those problems. (Just make a backup of the things you need.)

You have a 84 GB large file. Either its a virus, a messed up Hard drive sector table or your HD itself is failing.

I just checked the actual installer instead and it's around 100MB.
It is not possible to take up more than 5/6 GB (as you said you had 82.4 GB before) by installing the same thing more than 10 times as it's always overwriting the things that are already in the folder (unless it's a trash installer).

I'm agreeing with Grega, it's most likely a virus or a corrupted sector on the hard drive(which could have been caused by a virus or malware of some form).
Download Microsoft Security Essentials(it's a good anti virus software, and free to boot), Malware Bytes(also good free software, but will check for malware specifically), and Spybot - Search and Destroy(to check for spyware, also free). These are the main three that I've been using, and I've had very few problems since using them...
And get rid of McAfee, it's one of the worst anti virus softwares out there...

@Topic Creator,
see this
I am using this from last 3 years..
Not one day I required antivirus
Not one day my computer acted weird or lagging
Not one day I computer crashed
And bonus, I can play ZEQ2 from this too
by the way: If you want Windows.. Install it in this and use it only for games..

Virtual box has no 3D card support. AS in no 3D game support. Only software.
And if you are careful with what you browse. As in avoid those happy time photos sites you don't need an anti virus either way.

Virtual Box or Dual Boot
The only thing important is using windows strictly for gaming only (After checking your game installation image for viruses on linux of course)

Dual Boot is way better than a Virtual Box, Virtual Boxes are ment for 2 OS' if you want to run both Linux and Windows at the same time (or an other OS). Virtual Boxes are also ment to run Dedicated Servers/Websites at the same time. If you're going to make a Virtual Box just for gaming it'll slow your PC down a lot (the only thing that works is to get more RAM but it still will slow your gaming OS down cause the processor has to do more work.) And as far as my concern, the bloppity blip bloop could be having a very slow processor so it's going to be a problem for him to use a Virtual Box
So, the best option is to get Dual Booting or you get a fresh Windows with an actual working Anti-Virus (and don't download stuff from fake websites and such).

Will you stop confusing memory with HD space already.
Windows (Win 7 ultimate 64 bit) has the most supported RAM and that's 192 GB. And again with a 32 bit windows system you don't have more than 4 GB support at all.
So for the love of lloyd stop talking like you know stuff cause you are making yourself look like an leaping lizard.
@Nimish
I'll try that. Hopefully that means I can get my old drakan game working. Speciffically made a Win 98 install on virtualbox just or that.

Well I tried with Windows 98 Installation there are a couple of tweeks you need to read it up.. but my thing never actually worked
Also on Virtual Box you can play games but yes you need to allocate more ram.. and the problem is your host and your vbox should have identical memory.. for example: host 2 GB then vbox 2 GB You need 8 GB ram for 4 GB vbox then its all okay.
For CPU if you have i5 its great for Virtual Environment as its got Hyper Threading(HT) and Turbo Boost(PB). so you can actually allocate 2 threads with PB and actually virtualize a Core 2 Duo with 2 GB ram.. (works great )
Let me know if you get Windows 98 Installed.
Another Tip: If you just copy the VDI you can actually have multiple instances of your VBox..
What does that mean ?? well.. Suppose I installed my game and my system crashed.. you just need to replace the VDI and everything up again in 30 minutes or less

Well that should run fine, the only problem I have is that I've got an old Q6600 processor from Intel. (also 4 GB RAM :V)

Since you are blatantly ignoring what I'm trying to say I'll just stop with that.
Either that or you really don't have a clue what I'm talking about with saying "don't confuse HD space and RAM"
So lets just stop at that.
