Disk Clean hangs after I start it.

Any suggestions?

I don't know why it freezes and I don't know what to do
about it.

> Brendan,
It is hanging at the "Compress Old Files" stage because of a program flaw in
XP. Here is a solution from MVP Juputer Jones:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248
Or
Follow this link:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 48, Right column "Disk Cleanup - Compress..."
Save on Desktop.
Double click the icon once downloaded.
The icon can then be discarded.
