I'm running out of space on my C: drive. I have scanned
the computer and I have tries to use disk clean but it
freezes and does not move. I have manually cleaned files,
at least I thought I did, but when I ran NOrton Anti-
Virus I noticed files being scanned that I thought had
been deleted. I have tried several tricks or tips to get
into the regedit, with no sucess. It flashes on the
screen,and immediately disappears. Can you help me? I am
helpless in Sacramento. Thanks.

Simply click on Kelly's fix, download the registry fix, then run it.
(Note: Disable your antivirus program before running the repair script)
