I understand the problem , but the root of it is going to be computer related.
What version did you upgrade from?

You should have all your programs on C: not on G:drive. Just because you divided the physical drive putting the programs on G: is not the same as putting them on C:.
Two GB is absolute minimum for Windows when you first load it, but Windows has a bad habit of growing, like when you do all the updates from Microsoft every one of them is added to the C: drive.
Hoster also uses a part of it with C:/MTU to store program items and this is not changable.
Additionally your C: drive has all of the Documents and Settings which includes temp files, cookies, temp internet files, etc.
And last C: drive is the default for your Pagefile, used for swapping video and program information. So you see there is a lot on the C: drive that you cannot change and has a tendancy to build up over time.
My guess is that your C: drive is pretty full. Ideally your C: drive should have from 50 - 25% free space for Windows and programs to operate at optimal speed.
