Dear Carey,
I have a similar problem as the writer whose DiskClean was not working properly, but, in my case, the program locks up my CPU, even after I hit ‘cancel’ and the program ends – the CPU operates @ 100% and the O/S – WinXP Home – slows WAY down. The only way to recover is to reboot – which takes an awfully long time. I have tried your ‘solution’ even waiting all night to run the zip portion of the program – trouble is this is NOT the 1st time I have used ‘DiskClean’. I even used ‘sageset: 11, eliminated all options, but the program still tried to read the compressed programs and locked up the system. This indicates to me that ‘DiskClean’ has become corrupt and needs to be replaced. Is there a source for it?
Please email me with answer.
Thanks.
