Feb 21, 2008I recently had my computer crash due to a TROJAN virus and at that time I had Windows XP service pack 3 which my computer man installed for me. After being infected I had to completely reinstall EVERY thing on my computer taking my computer back down to Service Pack 1 the only operating disks I had.

Jul 25, 2002Is there a way to configure disk clean-up to not consider compressing old files as one of the alternatives? I don't consider file compression to be a useable feature and would like to eliminate it. It also adds greatly to the time it takes disk clean-up to run. What should be a relatively short task turns lengthy with this option enabled.

Apr 27, 2005I am cleaning it up a bit, and when I did disc clean-up, where it says old compressed files, there are a lot like 1,318,178 of them.what are they if I check the box, does disc cleanup delete them, or does it compress them.How long will that many files take to compress or delete or whatever I have to do? Is there something wrong with my PC to have that many files there like that? I already got rid of the Temp Files, and Defraged, but these compressed things are confusing me.can someone advise me if I should check the box and let the disc cleaner deal with them.I'm afraid that there are so many, what if it deletes everything.

Apr 15, 2006Whenever I try to run Disk Cleanup, it starts to check how much space can be freed up, first by checking "Compress old files." Since I probably have something on the order of 5-10 million files on my computer (this isn't an exaggeration; I have several million files from research with medical data), this part of the scan essentially means that I always have to cancel Disk Cleanup, because it will never finish.Is there any way to do Disk Cleanup, but disable the scan for old files that Windows would want to compress?

Dec 10, 2004I have XP Home, and every time I run Disk Clean-Up, the program kind of freezes. I make sure to have no major tasks running and sometimes I don't even touch the computer while it's running. But it freezes.After I cancel it, my computer goes soooo slow, so I in the running processes using Ctrl + Alt + Delete I notice that my computer is at 100% usage, and that the Disk Clean-up is still running even though the window has been closed and the task has been canceled.What can I do so it stops this? How can I successfully run Disk Clean-up?

Aug 22, 2008I did a disk clean up, it wouldn't get rid of all temporary internet files. So I went into the registry. Instead of deleting the file i deleted the whole thing. Disk clean up is still there but it doesn't have any of the categories. I tried to do system restore. For some reason it owuldn't let me. I was going to do a windows fix-up but my cd said that I have a newer verson of what was on the cd. Im at a loss. I have searched google for some time now and can't come up with any solutions. I thought about just downloading another product that does the same thing, but I would really like to put the orginal stuff back on if I can.

Feb 2, 2009As part of my monthly maintenance checks I ran Disk Clean up and it took so long to complete that it was almost like a drive-defrag. I had to cancel out of it at least once I try it in safe mode because I was sure it was hanging. Only it wasn't hanging, just running slow. The part that took forever was NOT the pre part where it estimates how much space you can free on the disk. That was done in a few minutes. It was when running Disk Clean up and it was doing the "Compress Old Files" part. It took at least 45 minutes. When I went into Safe Mode, as part of Disk Clean Up, I check something that I think was called "Temporary Index File Searching." that I did not see before in Normal Mode. Why would Disk Clean Up take 3-5 times longer to complete than usual?

Clean Install From OEM Recovery Disk!?
Jan 5, 2007First off I've searched this but haven't found the relavent information I'm looking for. Chances are I've looked or searched in the wrong places.I've heard I need to boot from disk then format, to do a clean XP install when do I format and how.Also, I'm going to be getting more RAM very shortly, probably tomorrow, and I think this is the majority of the slow, lagging problems I've been having with the laptop (only 256 now) and I was wondering if I should hold off on the re-install untill I put the new RAM in there or does that not matter.

Nov 27, 2005I have partitioned my main hdd 200gb into 15gb for boot( C: drive) and 2 other data drives.I am getting messages from some apps that the C: drive is nearly full. Looking at it, I have only 28MB left. I have not installed anything on that drive but it is nearly full.Not sure where the rest of the space has gone because that is basically all that is on that drive. My computer has been booting and running slowly for a few months now or slower than in the past. I figure it is partly due to this disk issue. Is there a tool or way to clean up the disk and make the computer run faster like when I freshly built it? Do I need to reinstall windows and start all over?
