My disk cleanup is no longer woking. It only begins to check for files, but after it makes the computer makes all those "working noises," it stops and just sits there and never goes to the next step or shows results? How do I fix it
 
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

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