So....will that fix the CCleaner problem? Unless your post was on-topic as it relates to the CCleaner slowdown, I have reasons for running with SP2. Did you mean that all those with XP SP2 will have a very slow-loading CCleaner? That's the solution to the problem up for discussion? Thanks.

I noticed the huge slowdown weeks ago. Not in scanning just in opening the program. I didn't think a lot about it - I assumed it was when I updated CCleaner (I keep it updated). There have been many theories here, but here's my experience: Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop - WinXP SP2 I recently ran into an unrelated problem and had to revert to an old image that was a year old. It's the image I call "minimal" with my mainstay apps installed (it's an apps only partition). The old CCleaner started up fast just as it always did with the old version. The FIRST thing I did was update CCleaner. I then went to open the program and - surprise! - it was very, very slow. This tells me that the system image exactly as it was 10 months ago and updated ONLY with CCleaner gave me the --- slow CCleaner. What does that tell me? It's something in CCleaner's latest updates. But, maybe there's another explanation. I'm really not offering a real cause or correction - just my experience. Thanks, Piriform, for CCleaner. No matter the load speed, it's sweet.

This is true. However, I just installed the Opera 10 final release and then installed CCleaner version 2.23.993 and Opera doesn't even show up in the applications list for me.
