Very simply Viv, how long is it since you last used the cleanup routine for
your computer, it can take an extremely long time if it's the first time you
used it for a while, I had the same problem a while back with a friends
computer... she had it for two years without running cleanup and it took
several hours...

Forgot to mention Viv.... The 'three lines' bit you mention is when cleanup
'compresses old files'. This is the most HD and Processor hungry part of the
operation. Check to see if your HD is active by watching the small LED on
the front of your computer, I think you'll find it is illuminated or flashing
which, again, means it is completing the task you have asked it to do...

Is there any activity with the hard disk when cleanup is running?
