Okay. Thanks for the tip Andavari.

Don't forget that if your environment variables are not pointing to the appropriate place, CCleaner will delete the wrong files as well. I still believe that the beginner's guide should give instructions on how to check your environment variable as a precautionary step.

ROFLMAO - But they are obviously understaffed. You still shouldn't be working like that, you are going to slip up and possibleyget hurt working under such a sleep deprived situation. Be careful please! We like having you around.

That may be so, but majorgeeks DOES support CCleaner (moderators, admins, etc...). CCleaner is still a required procedure on their malware removal forum prior to posting a HJT log. See Here However, I would like to note that I have noticed that most malware removal experts do not like the registry cleaning part of any program. I am not clear why this is so, but I have seen this commonality. Look below "TheFireInTheSky's" avatar. It says "aka neighboraaron".

hehe I use the word "thingy" too much. lmao > Insert installation CD > Check system compatibility > Check my system automatically Just to be on the safe side. And as E keeps pointing out, a chkdsk /r is always a good idea too.

Very weird. And I probably could dance like that if I tried, but I hope that there isn't enough alcohol in the world to influence me into trying such a thing. roflmao

More than likely not, but someone here still might be able to help you out. Definitely try Hazelnut's Safe Mode idea first. If that doesn't work let us know, and provide us with some more information. Are you defragging from an administrator account, percentage of hard drive free space, and what is your operating system? Good luck! Keep us posted!

Yep! What 3rd party defragmenter did you use? I've used some suggested here, then later ran the XP Compatibility thingy and found out they were incompatible. Just be careful, and use the Compatibility wizard to detect incompatible software just to be on the safe side. If you want to of course.

There are a few reasons why you may not be able to defrag. * 1st of all you need to be the administrator, and your permissions could be messed up. * 2nd of all, you need 15mb or more of hard drive space for defragging. So you may need to make some free space. Could either of these situations be the problem?

roflmao @ hazelnut - Those are neat!

Hi jdroost, and welcome. I don't know the solution to your problem, and nor have I ever heard of it before. Maybe MrG will know more about it. But I wanted to mention that it's not a good idea to post your email publically like that, it's a good way to get spammed.

Welcome! Could you specifiy which cookies aren't showing up in the list please?

Yeah, but remember that we've had quite a few attacks on this forum and that would be a sneaky way to do it. Sorry, totally off topic. @fisherking, follow rridgley's advice.

Agreed!

LOL Cowboy. OS means Operating System, so you answered my question (XP). You could try merging these 2 files first and see if that works. If it doesn't work then it seems to be malware related. First download the TaskManager_Reset.txt file. Right-click the file and choose rename. Change the .txt to .reg then press Enter. Then double-click the file to merge. Second download the taskmgrenable.txt file. Right-click the file and choose rename. Change the .txt to .reg then press Enter. Then double-click the file to merge.

What OS is she running?

Yeah, that sucks though because I thought that the point of CCleaner installing over itself was to keep your settings.

Hi flaviote, and welcome. Reinstalling the VB Runtimes really should be your solution. Could you tell us what OS you are running? Also, do this for me. Try to run CCleaner again, and let it crash (note the time of the crash please). Then immediately do the following: 1. (click) Start 2. (click) Settings 3. (click) Control Panel 4. (open) Administrative Tools 5. (open) Event Viewer Now open the Application log, and the System log. Look for Warnings and Error at the time that CCleaner crashed. If there are any Warnings and/or Errors. Please post them. It will probably be best, and easiest to post screenshots of them. Thanks.

Remind me to try that next weekend when I have time. I believe that you have a good reason to suggest it so strongly.

Bad Darkman! Bad! roflmao temporarily hijacked...sorry MrG...but you started it.

Tease!!!

Hi Kris, and welcome to the forum. If you do a forum search you will find a few possible solutions to your problem to attempt. You can try this for starters. Note: If you are using XP Home then only use the Medium Build of DAF. Good luck! Let us know if you have any questions.

I know. It's out of stock everywhere. It's a shame that none of us got one before they ran out. I would pay the $250 just for all of the parts if nothing else. After shipping costs, and tax the total was $250, fyi.

If it's running then it's still doing something. I would just let it keep running until it's finished. How long did you let it run for?

Cool, I'll check that out too.
