| | Disk Cleanup Hangs... Every time I try to run Disk Cleanup it hangs while calculating how much space it can free up. The progress bar gets to what seems to be around 70% complete and then just stops. The hard drive keeps spinning and the memory usage will eventually climb to 100%, all while it is still calculating. After about 10 minutes or more the window just disappears. It never gets to the window where I can check what to delete. Specs: Athlon 64 X2 3800, 2 Gb RAM. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. |

| | RE: Disk Cleanup Hangs... Thanks for your fast response. I ran chkdsk with everything checked. It ran after reboot and checked the drive for a long time. It ended up saying the drive is clean. Then went back into windows and ran disk cleanup again with same problem. I have looked everywhere on the net and can't seem to find anyone else who has had this problem (in Vista or XP). Everything else on my system seems to be running just fine. Very strange...
