I tried the recent trick of uninstalling the older version, and then looked to delete the files in the CCleaner folder.... But no program folder was to be found after the uninstall this time. Tried the Update file again and I still got the same Abort, etc message. So, I restored my hard drive to where it was before the uninstall. One more time I tried installing the Update and got the same " Abort, Retry, Ignore." This time... I figured..."What the hey!? I'll use restore if it mesess up!" ... So I clicked Ignore. Guess what? It installed without a problem.

I only tried uninstalling .... not all the other details. I will try that now. I could not locate the .ini file to keep. Other than losing a few cookies I may have wanted to keep? Its now working. Thanks!

I am experiencing a slightly different update problem. I downloaded v5.32.6129. I begin the install, and it stops. It gives me some options to try, but the only one that works is "Abort." I did not want to use the "Ignore" option. Here is what I see... X Error opening file for writing. C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe. Click Abort to stop installation. Retry to try again.. Ignore to skip this file.

Because its not just bad. Its terrible. Its seems like someone is trying to sabatage Piriform. Microsoft had to listen to the same sort of thing when Windows 8 came out. It was deserved. I think too many of the younger designers may not separate what is meant to be practical from what is to be a video game, or an app for a cell phone. I recently bought a very expensive fanless computer. Only under one condition. No Windows 8! Windows 7 only. Why? Ask Microsoft. They know why. Why? Because of the feedback they received from customers.

If you would like something constructive... I am more than willing to donate towards CCleaner. But, the asking price for the full version is too high. What's added to the full version is nothing I need of. If you could provide a page to make a donation done in appreciation for the free version? I believe you would find many to be willing. I have wanted to in the past. But the only option to give money has been for a version I do not need. And at a price that I find too inconvenient. But, this new GUI? It is what would make me wait before that could take place. Please.. I lhave loved your product and have recommended it many times to others.

Better yet. Perhaps? They will take note. They have responded in the past to complaints very well.

Yeah right. And, that's why you made your comment here.

It is also the masses who will without question eat the altered junk foods put before them. This is not an issue of how many. Its an issue of right and wrong.

How often do you see such an alleged minority all agreeing in this manner? And common sense tells you, comnpared to what it has been before, that the new look is atrocious. You going to play this numbers game? Survey takers know that when they ask a minority number.. the ones that speak up, often times represents the sentiment of a much larger number. You are finding here the ones who *understand* how important this software is. We are not the passive ones that download things simply to have them. And, if Piriform wants to have more people purchase their software? Its not a good way to do it. It now looks cheap and inexpensive. Not worth paying for.

This new GUI is the equivalent to the once en-vogue nuovelle cuisine..

Has Piriform really taken the time to peek at the new look on Windows 7? Its horrible. I have already reverted back to the last version, and have been refusing to update since. The new look is what I would call "diluted and washed out." The Anorexic look. Please! Would love to have a skin choice! To put some meat on those bones once more.

Looks like some primitive Windows 98 software. Very disappointing. The previous versions look looked substantial. This looks like a software created for a very low RAM computer. In case you are wondering. I think the new look is terrible.

I updated to IE8. For some reason it freed up more space on my hard drive after replacing IE7. Its now working fine with the latest CCleaner. Thanks! GeneZ

CCleaner folks.. Some people may be missing this. CCleaner is getting blamed for something it is not always causing. There seems to be a bug in IE7 itself, not CCleaner. I found out that my IE7 failed to keep cookies for long, even with CCleaner uninstalled. The cookies I saved for IE7 bled over as to also effect Firefox cookies, making Firefox seem unstable with cookies in CCleaner. I turned off the cookie acceptance in IE7. Now I only use a cookie-less IE7 for Microsoft updates by keeping its cookies feature turned OFF. FireFox runs perfectly this way. Saved cookies with CCleaner now are no problem! GeneZ

It seems to be a bug in IE8 and IE7, not CCleaner. I found out that my IE7 will not keep cookies for long, even with CCleaner uninstalled. Also, the cookies I stored in IE7 bleed over to effect Firefox, making Firefox seem unstable with cookies, too. In the IE7 I turned off the cookie acceptance. FireFox used to be always stable and I always preferred it to IE7, but the recent bug IE7 developed will affect Firefox cookies, especially in CCleaner. So, now I only use IE7 for Microsoft updates. If you do not have it, please try Firefox. Download Firefox and use it for everything needing cookies. That's my solution. If its not what you think you are looking for? Try running your IE8 for a while with cookies delete turned off in CCleaner. See if IE8 loses its cookies just the same. I found that my IE7 was losing its cookies randomly all on its own, without even touching CCleaner. And, I also found that IE7's cookies problem effected FireFox's cookies making FireFox lose its cookies. It made CCleaner look bad. Hope that helps... GeneZ
