Disk cleanup problem

[Luke]

Hate to bother everyone again, but I have had this problem with Disk Cleanup
for almost ever.
Everytime I run the program, it says compressing files, and shows three
little bars in the progress indicator, but doesn't do anything. It does say
that this may take a few minutes, but 8 hours later, it was still doing the
same thing, so I ran Task Manager and terminated it, then had to kill the
cleanmgr.exe process cause it started eating away on my processor (99%). I
deleted the file, then XP said that a file was missing and asked for the CD
to re-install itself. I then re-ran it and again, it started up, and said
Compress Old Files and had 3 bars in the progress meter and stayed there.
Are there any flags I can use from the RUN to make it skip this section, or
do I just have to empty my temp and temporary internet files manual?
Thanks for any help
