My clean up utility used to work fine, but it is freezing
now. I can't think of anything that could have caused the
problem. Can anyone help me?

I'm having the same problem and thought I'd join your
email. If anyone has an answer, please reply. The
cleanup says that it's compressing files, but I've let it
run all night and nothing happens. Nikko
 
You dont mention specifically when this happens,but i'll
guess its "while compressing files".
The fix is at microsoft.com,type:812248 In search.
As for the other guy,if any utility,or installation
seems to come to a halt after 4-7 mins.stop running it.
The processing thru computer hardware is milli-seconds,
its not like a 25 mile drive.If clean-up is at a diff-
rent point in not responding,go to run,type:cmd
At the curser type:cleanmgr
