Have you tried doing it in safemode or from the admin account?

I have a 120 gig hd and p4 2.4 gig 256 ram gforce4
where would I check to see if files are compressed?

 

[Pancake]

When you run disc cleaner it ask you which files you wish to clean and from memory there is a box marked Compress files. I use Mcafee Quick Clean as its better to handle and does not worry about compressed files.

when I start disk cleanup it starts it does not give me any options

ok.try running in safe mode.

 

[super power]

Also clear your History folder and Temporary Internet Files folder to get rid of some of the junk. (Internet Explorer - Tools, Internet Options)
