Can't you either reinstall Windows if your pc is so bad, or reinstall some of the applications? CC won't really break your pc beyond recall. Uhhmm....the computer tech guy said that the PC was "dead". I have no further information beyond that. In a previous instance I reinstalled Windows myself. And it worked well for about a year and a half, but I guess I "zapped" it to death. Death being cleaning all registry issues with no backing up. Thanks for your advice. I will be much more carefull with my daughters laptop. It already gave a warning notice once when booting up. So from now on I will let registry issues be.

I do not fault CCleaner, but I think I did lethal damage to my computer by using the registry issues section quite often without backing up. I now need to purchase a new computer. I have read all the info provided by Piriform concerning registry cleaning, but I am not really that advanced in my computer usage knowledge. So my question is: how does the average user of CCleaner proceed with cleaning of the registry( if at all necesarry)? I still do not completely understand. Thank you.
