DISK CLEANUP

I can't get disk cleanup to work. It starts but stops with three green bars at "compressing old files".

    JDMC55,

    Assuming you are running Windows XP, the registry edit described here should be helpful.

    Solution to Disk Clean up

    1.Type Regedit in Start - Run
    2.Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Volume Caches
    3. Open "Compress Old Files" folder
    4. Delete all files in this folder
    5. Reboot
    6. Run Disk Cleanup


    NOW MY DISK CLEAN UP WORKS FINE FOR MONTHS NOW. FOUND THIS ONLINE. http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win2000/r1024939934

    You might try Windows Update to see if there is an updated display driver listed for your system. If so, download it and see if it solves the problem.
