    I used the program Regvac to clean my computer earlier today.
    After using it I found that I couldn't access anything on my computer. If I tried to use a program such as paint, or even if I tried to use the system restore, it said that the file could not be found.
    If i tried to redownload any of the files, it would say that "exe" is not a recognized file type.
    How can I fix this problem?

      I've tried reinstalling it, but it won't run.

        I can't even access the volume control.
        Whenever I try to open a program, it opens as a notepad file.
        The only thing that physically will run without a problem is the internet.

        It 's always good idea to ask around before using some programs, especially, if they deal with system files.

        Not familiar with this app so i visited their website... ::)  you can't judge a product from a webpage however.....
        At least it is not listed as a rogue app.

        A good reg program will create backups before changing anything.
        Have you checked the RegVac help file to see if this is the case ? ?
