MEMTEST86 has been running 28 hours and made 22 passes in default mode. I hope to learn how to get to the end screen and the html report to save, All suggestions are appreciated.

No last known good showed up in safe mode with networking. I have carbonite now, so perhaps it turned off that feature, Used malwarebites, Nothing found, Zonealarm scans are clean..Ccleaner used every few days. Could ccleaner and ZA logs be eating space?

Fairly recent problem and it seems to have come about the time ZA got a new version with threat emulation, but I can't be sure,

If this MEMTEST ever ends, I plan to run a duplicate file cleaner and delete all but most recent cleaner, mbam, and ZA logs.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Install and run windirstat. Will show you where the largest files and folders are.

If Vista is running slow, a clean setup is a good idea. You don't need to run ccleaner unless you have issues, it's more likely to CAUSE issues running it all the time unless you are just using it to delete temp files.
