 | Re: Disk Cleanup Windows Error Reporting Bug Fix Hi. I seem to recall having this bug in 32 bit Vista about a year ago; now I have switched to x64, and after installing everything I ran disk cleanup on the C drive and the "system queued windows error report" has come up with just over 5GB. So I thought I'd check this was OK to delete and found this tutorial. So I downloaded and merged to the registry, and am still getting (after reboot) 5GB. Do I take it that this is safe to delete, along with the fact that the bug seems to give much bigger figures?
By the way, thanks for the great tutorials, I have come across this site 3 times in the last couple of weeks when searching for stuff, and it came up trumps every time
Cheers. | My System Specs | |

Did you also correct the Disk Cleanup shortcut since you have the 64 bit Vista? If you have, then you should be fine with only 5GB total. Of course, you should do a Complete PC Backup since you have Vista Ultimate to be extra safe though.
Hope this helps,

 | Re: Disk Cleanup Windows Error Reporting Bug Fix Hi. Yes, I did that fix, and also have run from both that, and also the properties of the disk. As you say, I will backup first and then give it a go.

 | Thanks for your work in fixing this bug...but why, oh why, haven't Microsoft put in their own permanent fix for this very old problem??  
When I try the reg script that I downloaded to the desktop, I get a message saying that this cript can only be run from within the Registry.
Can you advise? | My System Specs | |

| | Administrator Vista x64 Ultimate SP2 Texas, USA | You're welcome mmmf, and welcome to Vista Forums.
Well, this problem is usually associated with using a registry cleaning program that was improperly allowed to delete certain registry entries. This cannot be blamed on Microsoft since this problem is caused inadvertently by the computer user and a 3rd party program.
We all make mistakes though. | Quote: | mmmf |  | | | When I try the reg script that I downloaded to the desktop, I get a message saying that this cript can only be run from within the Registry.

When you download and save the reg file to the desktop, does it have a icon that looks like this?
If not, then the default association for the .reg file extension has been changed. In Method Two of this tutorial, you will need to .reg (Name) file extension back the Current Default of Registry Editor (C:\Windows\regedit.exe). Default Programs
Hope this helps,
