We recently bought a computer with Windows XP on it. I
cannot get my disk cleanup to go past Compress Old Files
before it freezes up and I have to reboot to get the
computer to work. I have cleanup scheduled for system
start up. Can anyone help me??

Why does Disk Cleanup freeze?

Disk Cleanup freezes during the Compressed File Phase: This edit corrects the
problem:

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and
answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right
clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
