  1. Addendum: I just ran through each Registry category one at a time. And I'm pretty convinced that all of my issues all day long were "Active X and Class" issues. Any advice or helpful hints about what might be going on? Thanks, Jeanne
  2. I'm using Win XP Pro (up to date) and just updated CCleaner to v. 2.21.940 a few minutes ago. I admit that I made a mess a couple of days ago and had to restore my system; I've also managed to avoid learning anything about the Registry in all these years. I've gone back to removing programs one at a time and running CCleaner. But yesterday and today, I can't seem to clean the Registry completely. I've been running the Registry cleaner all day today -- about 15 times, and re-booting about as often. CCleaner keeps coming up with one item at a time to clean. And they mostly seem trivial -- sometimes even just shortcuts, toolbars, templates, and such. They almost all related to "access" (not sure whether that refers to the program or just the noun) and sometimes to "acro" which must be Acrobat. (I didn't uninstall either Acrobat or Access.) If I don't reboot, I may get a clean bill of health, but if I reboot, there'll be another, single, annoying issue. I realize that I've got all of the options checked for Registry integrity. So, I'm surfing around for a better understanding of this. Some must mean real trouble/ system instability, and others not so much. If I understood that better, it would give me some peace of mind to manage my time. Any suggested reading? I tried the link to documentation at this site, but it's not working. Second, while I'm not surprised to have to cycle through this process a couple of times (I'd done that in the past), is it reasonable for this to go on all day like this? Or is something wrong that I'm not even thinking about. Many thanks, Jeanne
