Disk Cleanup causes buffer overrun

Help. I'm unable to run the Disk Cleanup utility. I get the following error:

-----
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cleanmgr.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's
internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must
now be terminated.
-----

My System Restore has also been disabled. It says that I need to run the
Disk Cleanup -- but I can't .

What's wrong and what do I need to do?

defrag.

Ah, I see "databaseBen" is back with his blank verse under another name.
How is the OP supposed to run "all the disk tools" such as Disk Cleanup
when Disk Cleanup not working is the reason he's posting?

What says you "need to run the Disk Cleanup"? We don't really have
enough information about your machine. Googling for "Disk Cleanup buffer
overrun" brings me quite a few links about malware removal which may or
may not be relevant.

So to start off, answer these two questions:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the
malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what
programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware

Then post back and tell us the answers and include a bit more
information about your computer such as its approximate age, the size of
the hard drive, how much free space is left on the drive, that sort of
thing. The reason for asking for this information is so we can narrow
down the troubleshooting for you.

Thanks. The __real__ issue is that my System Restore is off and I can't seem
to get it back on. On my System Restore tab:
1. Turn off System Restore is __not selected__
2. In Status, it says:
System Restore is suspended because there is not ecough disk space
available. To restart System Restore, click Disk Cleanup and ensure at
least %dMB of free disk space is available.

I click Disk Cleanup and got the Buffer Overrun error. I did some Googling
and manually deleted the items in the the %TEMP% folder. I have now been able
to run Disk Cleanup successfully, but the System Restore tab still says that
it is suspended.

More info:

I am running WixXP Professional. Windows reports that my C Drive is 149GB,
with 114GB free.

I have tried to manually start the System Restore Service (it is marked as
Startup = Automatic) and received this error:
Could not start the System Restore Service service on Local Computer.
Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.


Thanks for the help.

It certainly seems like you should have enough space. Here are MVP Bert
Kinney's System Restore troubleshooting pages. I'd go through whatever
he suggests since he's our resident System Restore expert.

http://bertk.mvps.org

Post back after you've been through Bert's suggestions and let me know
what happened. And just for thoroughness, is the computer
virus/malware-free?

I don't see humor in Wesley's post. He's just stating a fact about how his
email filter is set up. Is it the fact that he filters out any of your
messages that bothers you?

Re: Disk Cleanup causes buffer overrun

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains 'peter.codner@lineone.net' or
'databaseben@discussions.ms0125.com'
Delete it
and Stop processing more rules
