Disk Cleanup Frozen

[Guest]

I have an eMachines T1120 running Windows XP Version 2002. My disk cleanup
has froze up. When I open the disk cleanup it shows three bars lit on the
progress bar and never moves. I have tried system restore and that didn't
work. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it.

Because it will speed up your box,it removes old files
from web sites you visit that are not needed,will speed
up your surfing pleaser,but some people don't like to do
anything to their box,and are happy(like you) with the
speed of their box,no matter how slow it is.
