Page file problems

[Graham Wright]

I'm having the same problem as Vipul. It seems to be an
application called MDM.EXE which is causing the problem,
suddenly deciding to use up every bit of disc space it
can find. Does anyone know what this is and how to
control it?

Sounds like your application is having a problem or possibly a memory leak
