martymas Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 hi team.i have a problem i have lost the use of my win component snapin this is twice this has happened.the last time it happened i had to reinstall xpbut ive just come from another board.and two posts were having the same problem.and it seems CCleaner is the culprit.which is taking out the extensions.i recall when i scanned i saw the snapin appli in the run cleaner.which i deleted because i trusted the appli.now i cant prove CC was the culprit but.from those other posts.it could be one of the reasons i lost the use of the snapinand there isnt any means to isolate those entrys and take them out before you delete the reast.so i aim to get rid of some thing im not sure.i posted the problem on 2 other boards .but didnt get a single answer.so it seems peo0ple are reluctant to blame an appli that they think is doing a good job.the CC was recomended to me by some one from this board.now my Q what was the difference before i used CC .none.those entrys get sent to Adaware after any how.takes a bit longer.the dam rubbish we install on our sys.s .makes me angry but i tend to believe those who are the experts hope havent been to critical. marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chappy Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Hey guysI always advised against using those registry cleaners at TTV ansd still do. I've seen more problems caused by those things than they're worth and little real benefit.I've never used one and never needed one either since any truly orphaned registry keys are quickly ignored by XP or any NT based OS. The "clutter" that they cause is truly minimal and is not known to cause problems in XP.My opinion on these registry cleaners is that they aren't worth the trouble of downloading.Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martymas Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 hi chappy yes i remeber both you and pete tried to discourage us from using them.and up until now i havent used them. to be honest i didnt realise CCleaner was a reg hack.shows you how dumb i am i didnt realise it until i read your post. you and pete taught me a lot about compts so perhaps i need a refresh. take care marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
