I installed IE 8 after everything was already slow. I really just don't understand why CCleaner would slow my computer down. Should I remove it and see if that helps?
In answer to everything, I backed up the registry before "fixing" all of the errors. I have McAfee for virus protection and Ad Aware for malware protection. Neither program has found anything.
Everything is slow now. Booting, opening, running and closing. Yes, I do have IE 8.
Windows XP Home
CCleaner version v2.20.920
For the registry cleaner, I "Scanned for Issues" with everything checked and then had it fix all of the registry errors.
As far as the cleaner is concerned, I had it clean everything except the following in Windows and everything that was automatically checked on the applications tab.
IE: Autocomplete Form History
System: Start Menu Shortcuts and Desktop Shortcuts
Advanced: Nothing was checked
Thanks so much for your help with this!
I installed CCleaner because my computer was running slow but now it's even worse! Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know what I can do about it?
Thanks,
Sauni
