I had a problem that was not unlike this one, but a bit different I believe. My Windows 98 SE started leeching memory from drive C every time I turned on the computer. After I realised that it took 249 MB every time, it didn't take long to counter it. My Windows swap settings were set to 249 MB, and some glitch in the system, won't go into details right now, caused the swap space to be stored. Do this: Set swap file to minimum, delete all temporary files, defragment and reinstall windows. A simple reinstall didn't work for me, so I sudgest you follow these steps. After that, resize swap file settings to whatever you want and the problem should be solved.
