Disk cleanup won't run

[Dan]

I was wondering if anyone can help me get mt disk cleanup
to run. It starts to search and three meters light up and
then nothing. I let it run for over an hour and it just
seems to freeze.

hi, if the first fix doesnt work, try manually deleting
all temp files and temporary internet files. oh, and
cookies too.... then rerun disk clenup.... I've seen
this problem on several machines ive worked on. however,
if you go to manually delete the temporary internet files
and you get an error which reboots explorer, then youve
got a corrupt temp. internet folder...i have yet to find
a fix for this...all the ones ive tried from various net
sources have failed to remedy this.

anyhow, good luck to you and your computer.
