First of all, if you use <alt> Print Screen, you will capture only the active window,so you won't have such a large picture to post.

In most computers that didn't come with a system recovery disk, the D: drive is the system recovery, so having it close to full is pretty normal.

Since the problem seems associated with one of the items you installed, either Battlefield or something afterward, one or more of them might need to be run in compatibility mode.

Beyond that, here is an answer I posted in another thread for someone with a similar problem. From your post, it looks like you've already tried some of the things I mention, but maybe some others will be usefull.

The behavior you describe is most often associated with resource limitations that can develop either when a computer is reaching maximum memory capacity, or maximum simultaneous processes.

The memory problem can be solved by archiving old data files and removing them from the hard drive, and by clearing cookies, temp directories, and a few other locations, then defragging the disk. Once these optimization steps are done, virtual memory can be reset to accomodate the higher workload.

Simultaneous processes are a little more difficult, because sometimes it's very hard to determine which processes are needed by applications you use, and which are not. The first thing to do is make sure there are no known malicious programs running. There are several very good anti-virus, anti-spy, and firewall/defender type utilities available.
