I have tried to run the disk clean up several times and
it appears that it starts to run but it doesn't go any
further. Would this not work because my computer came
with Windows XP already installed? If this is the case
is there a way to use the clean up disk? e-mail me back
at (e-mail address removed) Thanks

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)
