Disk Cleanup causes buffer overrun
in [Windows XP]
|
From: ricks99 on 24 Jan 2007 09:11 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? Tx

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? > > "ricks99" <ricks99(a)discussions.microsoft.com > <mailto:ricks99(a)discussions.microsoft.com>> wrote in message > news:56B965FB-2168-41F2-865E-6C4455EA46C5(a)microsoft.com... > Help.

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/page2.html#Removing_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. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

I believe your humor is unwise and unprofessional. That is why I can contact the management of the mvp program with examples like these.
