  1. Rephrasing... the other registry cleaners do not run automatically and do not contribute to the problem if they are not loaded; or the other registry cleaners do not run automatically and do not contribute to the problem if they are not run; or the other registry cleaners do not run automatically and do not contribute to the problem if they are not running; or the other registry cleaners do not run automatically and do not contribute to the problem if they do not load in the background; or the other registry cleaners do not run automatically and do not contribute to the problem if they are not loaded in my Startup Group. The ONLY program that loads in the background, the ONLY program that loads in my Startup Group is Pointer a MS program for my trackball mouse. When this program is removed from my Startup Group, the problem with CCleaner remains the same - ergo, removing Pointer has no negative effect on my system whatsoever. I do not run CCleaner at Startup, and I do have CCleaner running or loaded in the background (as part of my Startup Configuration or as part of my Startup file). I only run CCleaner manually to minimize its impact on system resources. I have read that Beginner's guide and all available info available at www.CCleaner.com Thanks, Leritz
  2. Thanks for your follow-up reply, Andavari. As noted in my response above, the other registry cleaners do not run automatically and, in my engineering opinion, do not contribute to the problem if they are not loaded, run or running. I do not use the other registry cleaning programs on a daily basis - only if/when new programs are installed or old programs are un-installed (and I never have any programs running in the background, confirmed by using CNTL-ALT-DEL and noting what's listed under the "Close Program" window). I agree with "who knows..." and as I mentioned in my initial post (and the repeated post that started these threads), as a work-a-round, rebooting solves the problem (without running CCleaner again, however). I strongly suspect that there are flaws in the program and that we will simply have to live with them until they are mysteriously resolved in future versions. Thanks again! Best regards, Leritz
  3. I've been a consulting electrical engineer for 20 years, krit86lr, and while I appreciate your reply, I do not respect nor agree with your suggestion that upgrading RAM is the solution. Specifically, when I have documented evidence associated with two other PCs that have exactly the same problem, one ME and one 2000, and they have 512MB and 1GB respectively. In addition, as noted in my replies hereinabove, Prefetch is DISABLED and therefore has no impact on this issue. Thus your suggestion, while reasonable, is flawed and useless in my regard. Thanks anyway. Regards, Dave Leritz, P.E. Director of Engineering Grant Gilbert Consulting Engineers
  4. Hello hazelnut and thanks for your reply. 98SE with all available updates thru July '06. No upgrade, authentic MS. The same problem exists with another PC with ME, and a third with 2000. The other registry cleaners do not run automatically and, in my engineering opinion, do not contribute to the problem if they are not loaded, run or running. I do not use the other registry cleaning programs on a daily basis - only if/when new programs are installed or old programs are un-installed (and I never have any programs running in the background, confirmed by using CNTL-ALT-DEL and noting what's listed under the "Close Program" window). 256MB RAM. Thanks again! Leritz
  5. Good suggestion, but not here. I've never seen this problem with any other program, just CCleaner.
  6. Thanks for your reply, Andavari. Again, I do not run antivirus sheilds or any other resident shield. I defrag my HDD every other day. As stated in my initial post, "As a work-a-round, rebooting solves the problem (without running CCleaner again, however)." Thanks again. Leritz
  7. Thanks for your reply, fireyone. I run a very lean system. The only item loaded at startup is Pointer, MS software for my trackball mouse. With Pointer loaded, system resources are 96% where the only other program running is Explorer (the desktop). Without Pointer loaded, system resources are 99% where the only program running is Explorer (the desktop). I do not load anything Norton, McAfee, etc. After disconnecting from my ISP, using CNTL+ALT+DEL I confirmed the only programs running were Explorer (the desktop) and Pointer; system resources were 89%. After running CCleaner, system resources remained at 89%. I fairly confident that after disconnecting from my ISP, my system resources rarely fall below 80%. I use CNTL+ALT+DEL frequently to monitor DLL that have failed to unload resource hogs. After disconnecting from my ISP, unloaded unnecessary resource hogs (including Pointer), and running CCleaner, MS' System Monitor reports Processor Usage at 35% to 38%. This range is undoubtedly effected by SYSMON.EXE's monitoring. Thanks again for your input! Leritz
  8. Thanks for your reply, Tarq57. No XP here, and using ABOUT:CONFIG my "network.prefetch-next" setting was changed to FALSE quite some time ago - I'm not a Prefetch fan. Thanks again! Leritz
  9. Thanks for your reply. I had no idea that I received a reply to my post. My forum preferences are set to notify me when I receive a reply, but, like the removal or deletion of my previous post, the forum software must have deleted or removed that setting as well. Regardless, I use CCleaner's default settings except that I have unchecked System/Windows Log Files. In addition, when I look under Settings, all options are unchecked. Nothing in Cookies or Custom, and under Advanced the only options checked are "Show prompt to back up registry issues" and "Save all settings to INI file." I am running version 1.38.485 and it effects other programs in the same manner as all previous releases. Prior to installing the current CCleaner version, I always use MS' Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the previous version, then I reboot and install the current version. Looking forward to your thoughts, Leritz
  10. Do not have a clue why my previous post was removed - I trust it was not because I have EXPOSED a SERIOUS FLAW with Crap Cleaner - so I am reposting the same query for all... After running CCleaner's Cleaner my other programs run exceedingly slow. Has anyone else experienced this? As a work-a-round, rebooting solves the problem (without running CCleaner again, however). I am curious why, after running CCleaner, it has such a negative effect on other programs like: Norton DiskDoctor, Norton WinDoctor, Jouni Vuorio's Registry Cleaner, Toni Arts' Easy Cleaner, Ad-Aware, Maurizo Ferreira's OleClean, etc. I am running the latest version of CCleaner v1.37.456 and all other programs are also of the latest available versions. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you. Leritz
