Disc Cleaner is not working

[Guest]

Hello Tech Gurus

When I attempt to use Disc Cleaner, it hangs while consuming all of my 2.60Mhz I Cell CPU
I've tried many things to fix this problem (I will list, since this will expedite a solution)to no avail
Tried Defragmenting the hard drive, Turning off the computer, Resetting the computer for bes
performance from MS default settings, manually deleting temp. intern. files and other offline files, reduction of
temp space, using all MS services w/wout all startup variables. NOTHING WORKED

Performed complete virus and spyware checks. Nothing abnormal found
Mysteriously, when I went to use the System Restore function, I found that all prior restore points from
March were not there. I have none in April

I know I can manually delete temp internet files and of course recylcle bin; But, I don't know
if I can manually delete the category 'Temporary files'

I would greatly appreciate any help in restoring function to m
Disc cleanup utilit

Thankyou
Tenafly
