[CCleaner hangs when program is first initiated]

Try updating to SP3. SP2's going to die soon.

 

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.

Johnny, why not try MSE on your machine and give it a try? It might work very well for you.

 

I know the very first scan takes a while but after that it is quite quick to scan.

 

Only you can tell how it will run on your machine

 

Let us know if you do give it a try.

 

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.

[Opera 10 final (build 1750) not being cleaned]

I just wanted to post to confirm now that Opera 10.00 final has been released, CCleaner 2.23.993 is not cleaning it. Opera 10 final (build 1750) is the only version I have installed, and even though Opera still appears in the Application list, nothing is being cleaned.

 

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.
