Disk Clean won't run. It just stops at three "bars" in
window. I have left to run more than an hour with no
movement. I downloaded TuneUp Utilities when it quit
working, and have used that one well. I defrag every
other week, and have 60% free disk space. Even after I
run TuneUp and defrag (through Windows) the Disk Clean
still will not run. That seems to be the only problem
I'm having at this time.
 
Try the following web sites for troubleshooting suggestions:

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Line #48. In the right-hand window, click on
"Disk Cleanup - Compress Old Files Freezes"

Simply click on Kelly's fix, download the registry fix, then run it.
(Note: Disable your antivirus program before running the repair script)
