After I reinstalled Windows 7, Disk Cleanup stopped working.
I can start Disk Cleanup and select the drive to clean, but when I click on the OK button, the window disappears.

Any solutions?

Here's the data from Windows Logs>Application :-

The above one was with an Information icon.

The one below was with an Error icon:--

I also used process explorer:-
When i started disk cleanup, a cleanmgr.exe process appeared under explorer.exe.But when i clicked on the "OK" button after selecting the drive, cleanmgr.exe was there for some seconds before it disappeared. But a new process - WerFault.exe appeared under svchost.exe a few seconds after i clicked the "OK" button. It disappeared, too, from the process list after some time (i think it disappeared along with cleanmgr.exe).
