ccleaner help

[nymph4]

I use CCleaner and I need some help.

I click on the Registry Cleaner Tab and then I click on Scan For Problems and it does.
Then it brings up a lit of things to be fixed and I leave everything Selected with a check in the box.

Then I click Fix Selected.
And the next window has two tabs  Fix Issue  and  Fix All  I click  Fix All.

And it does and all the prablems go off the screen  so I close ccleaner and restart the computer.

Now I run it again and it brings up a big list again  it never stops I thought I fixed everything.

I can do the same thing over and over and over as many time as I want.

Am I useing it wrong did this happen to anyone els??
How do I use  CCleaner??

I can't really help with CC but I have used RegSeeker for years and NEVER had a problem with deleting the wrong things, etc. It is easy to use [I think more so than CC which I tried]. It is downloadable in several websites. Do a google search & pick a site.

Try Revo Uninstaller and Registry Cleaner software. It helps you to remove any unwanted application installed on your computer.

DO NOT USE ANY REGISTRY CLEANING SOFTWARE. They cause more problems than they claim to fix (and the do not FIX any). Even one as benign as ccleaner is useless. Use the other modules in ccleaner if you like, but not the registry module.

When you restart the computer and run the registry scan again, does it show exactly the same items you saw from the previous scan, just before shutting down?  How many items?  What are they?

Just Revo.

I use this feature all the time and have never had any issues, but most of the experts around here say:  "Never Use Any Registry Cleaners".  That being said and out of the way...

With CCleaner, restarting the computer is not necessary after Registry cleaning.  The reason you get a big list the 2nd time is some Registry entries are linked to others.  When the first group gets deleted, the linked group remains.  Try cleaning a few times in a row until none are found.  If you use it regularly, you will only need to run it once.

You've never seen issues, but have you seen performance afterwards?

There is no such thing as a good registry cleaner. There are simply some that don't do anything - they are the best. The others cause major problems.

Only on 1 computer, a friend's not mine.  He got a used computer with OS and a lot of stuff installed.  Didn't wipe it clean and start over.  It ran like *rap until he used CCleaner.  He's the one that informed me about running it multiple times until nothing else is found.  He found he had to run it 3-4 times in a row, I tried it on one of mine ane 2 times did it.

My own feeling & an expert database programmer's feeling is, the Registry is a Database, a Microsoft Database, and the smaller it is, the better.  I think computers are so fast, now, a smaller Registry is no longer an issue.

Sorry, but the size of the registry is unimportant. Anything a registry "cleaner" does is nominal and not noticeable. But if you think it helped, that's fine. That's how they work - the placebo effect

[kpac]
