First, make sure that you're logged on as administrator. After that you have 2 options. 1. In regedit click the key to highlight > click Edit > choose Permissions. Give yourself Full Control. I'm not sure if you need to reboot after giving yourself Full Control, but it couldn't hurt. 2. Your other options is to use DAF > tools > repair permissions. I don't know what your PC specs are so here are some instructions on which build of DAF to use. Light build, which is just Dial-a-fix, and can just do services tweaks and DLL registrations. People who have XP Pro can use Repair Permissions. People who have XP Home must get Medium. Medium, which is Dial-a-fix plus the secedit package; this allows people who have XP Home to use Repair Permissions. Have you tried either of these options already?

I'm getting worried about you dude. It's been 2 hours since you said that you were going to reboot. Can you not get back in or something? If you do get back into Windows don't shut your computer down again.

Skid Row is in the house!

Hey Mark, sorry about your problem. Can you get into Windows?

Did you repair your permissions?

It sounds like 1 of 2 things to me. Either 1. You aren't logged on as the administrator, or 2. You need to repair your permissions. You didn't tell me anything about your operating system so download and launch DAF the full build. > click Tools > click Repair Permissions > click GO > reboot (because your computer will be happy) Light build, which is just Dial-a-fix, and can just do services tweaks and DLL registrations. People who have XP Pro can use Repair Permissions. People who have XP Home must get Medium. Medium, which is Dial-a-fix plus the secedit package; this allows people who have XP Home to use Repair Permissions. Let us know if that works @DjLizard - Please don't be upset if you want him to download another build.

Hey tex77 Welcome Can you post a screenshot of the error? (Why would ccleaner try to delete itself? ) Also, what are your computer specs, and which version of CCleaner are you using? It makes it easier to help having more information. K

You gotta love Google! I'm glad that it was an easy fix.

That's a good question. I cannot answer your question because I don't use limewire, but I don't have an incomplete folder on my computer. So I'm guessing that the incomplete folder is specific to limewire. A few people here do use limewire, and may be able to answer your question. But does limewire have a forum where you could get confirmation? Maybe limwire does use that folder for other things, but it would be odd if anything important was stored in a folder called incomplete. (who knows these days though ) Good luck! BTW...has limewire been working okay since you've started cleaning that folder? K

Hi Richard Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. What do you mean by "automate the uninstall of the $NtUninstall*.*$ Directories$? Do you mean delete the uninstallers ($NtUninstall.....) becuase CCleaner already has that option, but don't use that option if you're using CCleanerv1.27. K

LMAO...

I think that I will need to use a software firewall after all. The machine had over 250 infections, and more keep showing up every day. The computer has all possible protection now except for a software firewall. So when I am finished cleaning up the new infections I will setup a software firewall. My goodness!

Got it! Many thanks...

What is the best configuration for my virtual memory setup? I don't know how these settings affect my computer so I need some help please. WinXP Pro SP2 640MB of RAM AMD Athlon Processor 1.00GHz Page File: 274MB used Thanks!

OMG! I get excited when I find 2 issues. (My computer needs to get a life)

Yep. I must say though that I wouldn't have thought of a winsock error off of the top of my head. Thank you for taking the time to share your solution. It's very helpful for others.

DjLizard suggested this in another thread, and I thought it was cool. You don't need to register, but I don't think that you can email. I'm not totally against registration though, because it helps you keep track of your uploaded documents.

Hi Welcome to the forum. You'll probably need to talk to Andavari, but you can read through this for a little more info if you want to.

Thank you Hazelnut! This is what I am talking about. But using the repair option isn't as helpful for some reason. Start > Run > (type) cmd 1. (type) ipconfig /release (space after ipconfig) 2. press ENTER 3. (type) ipconfig /renew (space after ipconfig) 4. press ENTER This will renew your DHCP connection.

CCleaner users have been reporting this problem recently. The problem hasn't been identified as of yet. Nor has it been confirmed that the problem is CCleaner. The dhcp connection problem that you are experiencing happens to be a common problem in general. I see it all the time on other forums. You did not answer my question. Did you type ipconfig /renew (space after ipconfig) at the command prompt? When I am experiencing your problem that is what I do to fix it. DHCP thread This is the thread where others have been reporting the same issue.

It has a hardware firewall, but routers only protect against incoming traffic not outgoing. So a software firewall is necessary even with a router. (I learned that a few weeks ago. I used to think that a router was enough.) Yeah, I was thinking about that yesterday. Yeah, for me!

My computer is Windows 2000 Professional. Doesn't only XP have a Windows firewall? (I will look) And there is only the hardware firewall which should block that stuff, huh? Hopefully I'll have time to check everything out soon. Normally, I would be able to fix the problems that this machine has but I don't have a CD to do a sfc /scannow and I don't have access to the Windows folder even though I'm the Administrator (this is strange to me). Popups galore Defrag is broken Disk Cleanup is broken Lots of crashes and freezing My goodness!!!

DjLizard's instructions will probably work, but I have a different concern. Has it been a long time since you've used the Issue option? I'm concerned about the amount of options that you're trying to fix. Why do you have 600+ issues identified?

All of the popups are a IE browser pages. The popups are either telling me that my computer has a vulnerability to a worm (I don't have the name with me), or that my registry is corrupted. But they are all IE browser pages, and FF is set to be the default. I refuse to open IE, but it opens itself. I think that my boss, and I are going to need to have a little talk. The computers/network are only protected by a few routers. The accounting software keeps getting corrupted and my boss doesn't know why. I wouldn't be surprised if there are multiple infections/spyware.

Have you tried ipconfig /renew at the command prompt? That works for me most of the time, but not always.
