WHEN I TRY TO RUN DISC CLEANUP I FREEZES UP. I HAVE TO
RESTART TO GET OUT OF IT. THIS STARTED JUST RECENTLY. I
WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP.
 
I had this same problem, try this solution, it worked for me.......
When you run the Disk Cleanup utility, the program may stop responding (hang) while scanning for compressed files

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress Old File

On the Edit menu, click Delete.
When prompted to "Confirm Key Delete," click Yes
Quit Registry Editor
