Ok heres the specifics. I have windows XP Pro fully updated.
I try to run "Disk Cleanup" The thing that looks like a broom over a drive icon. The one that gets rid of all the excess files in temp folders and the compress old files type stuff. Last time I tried to run it I disabled all the power saver settings in my computer including the monitor shut off. When I run the program it loads and starts, I'm gonna guess inventorying, all the temp and compressed files that can be safely removed and are not needed. It starts on the Compress old files section and then does nothing. I check the task manager and it says the CPU is running 100% capacity. The last time I had a situation like this some files necesary for the windows restart managed to disappear. I didn't find out until I tried to restart my computer. I ended up reinstalling windows from scratch. (that's right I'm the dummy who doesn't make system restore disks because he's too lazy) Anyways I let the program run overnight last time and it did nothing. When I woke up I saw the same thing that was there when I went to bed.
