DISK CLEANUP

[Guest]

WHEN I TRY TO USE DISK CLEAN UP IT STARTS THE PROCESS
AND THEN STOPS AND THE FAN COMES ON AND STAYS RUNNING
AND THEN PROGRAMS SEAM TO RUN SLOWER. ANY IDEA ON HOW TO
FIX THIS WOULD BE HELPFUL

Try the following web sites for troubleshooting suggestions:

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Line #48. In the right-hand window, click on
"Disk Cleanup - Compress Old Files Freezes"

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