When I choose to run disk cleanup on my C drive the status
bar indicator comes up and will only go to three bars. It
says "windows is calculting how much space you will be
able to free up.....this may take a few minutes." I have
given it a long time. I can dump all those files through
my internet properties and other ways. When I choose to
run disk cleanup on my D drive, it works fine. Any
suggestions? Thanks.

"Disk Cleanup - Compress Old Files Freezes"

Simply click on Kelly's fix, download the registry fix, then run it.

I am having same exact problem if it's any comfort, let
me know if you get any solutions, ok? Thanks
 
I downloaded the fix from that site and ran it. Now when
I pull up my disk cleanup, after I select the drive and
hit OK, the window just disappears and nothing
happens......
