| | Can running disk clean-up in windows Vista make it crash? According to a Dell tech support person, they claim this is what crashed my customers Vista operating system! (I never heard of this before, so need to know if this is an issue with Vista)? I have setup 100's of windows Vista computers, all suggesting they run disk clean-up once a week, and no one else has complained that they had this issue, or that it crashed there computer, so my question is "Can running disk clean-up in windows Vista make it crash?" Thanks in advance, Keith |

| | Re: Can running disk clean-up in windows Vista make it crash? I have yet to see a computer running Windows Vista having a crash episode while running a disk cleanup. However, if a hard drive is experiencing a mechanical failure, anything can happen unexpectedly. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows Vista Enthusiast --------------------------------------------------------------- "Keith" wrote: According to a Dell tech support person, they claim this is what crashed my customers Vista operating system!

If you do a search on that, you'll see that it's not unheard of but from what I can tell the real culprit ends up being a 3rd party software, driver or hardware.
