  1. Manufacturer:  HP

    Model: Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
    Version: g6-2210us
    Chipset Vendor: AMD
    Chipset Model:  ??
    Chipset Revision:  ??

     

    Speccy appears to be reporting invalid CPU temps.  This laptop computer has a dual-core processor.  I installed CoreTemp and it reports temps for each core.  Speccy seems to be adding the two temps and, therefore, reporting a falsely high temperature.  For example, I just started CoreTemp and it reported 39C or 40C degrees for each core while I was running CoreTemp.  I closed it and started Speccy; it is reporting 89C for temp for CPU, an extremely high and alarming temperature.  The temps it is reporting for motherboard, graphics, and storage are 40C, 38C, and 37C, respectively, so no worries there.  

  2. I went to CCleaner's donation page, with the intention of making a donation. I see I'm locked into a certain amount that's shown there. I wish to donate if different amount. Does CCleaner not want my money? :huh:

  3. Some people have found that if they had a problem with CCleaner running in vista, that right-clicking the CCleaner desktop icon and choosing run as administrator solved it.
    Yep, that worked for me. Right after I installed it with Vista and opened it the normal way and ran an Issues scan, it would not remove the items; it appeared to remove them but a repeat scan brought back all the same items. After reading your tip, I opened by right-clicking the CCleaner desktop icon and choosing run as administrator, and then it did, indeed, remove the items found.
  4. The Work menu is not shown on Word's default menu but can be added in any version of Word starting with Word 97. I see that any items I add to the Work menu get removed when I ran a CCleaner scan of Applications, including Office. If I do not include Office in the scan, then, of course, this does not happen.

     

    I suppose there's no way to include Office in the Applications scan but elect to have CCleaner leave the Work menu as is. Am I right?

     

    Apparently, the file involved in index.dat.

  5. I had similar thing happen. The pointer froze wherever it was on the screen. The problem was with the video card. If you have an invidia graphics card you have to roll back the driver to version 78_01.

     

    Eh ..., I think that's certainly not the case for everybody with nVidia based cards. I'm using their latest or near-latest driver, 81.98, having no such mouse problem with my Logitech wireless mouse.

     

    I did have a mouse problem about 5 or 6 months ago when I installed a new hard drive, did a fresh installation of Win XP, and downloaded the latest version of Logitech's SetPoint mouse/keyboard software. My mouse was freezing. I uninstalled that version of SetPoint and installed the older version that came with my mouse. Problem solved.

  6. This computer is running Windows 98, no restore available. I had saved registry and did a merge per the instructions no luck.

     

    Any specifics would be appreciated.

    ... merge? ... instructions? What instructions?
  7. OE has some cleanup options which, I believe, will take care of that. Under Tools, Options, Maintenance, and Clean Up Now (button), you have several options for cleaning up email. If you have saved attachments to a separate location from your email messages, you would, of course, need to delete those files from the location(s) to which you saved them.

     

    As far as what CCleaner does re: any remants of deleted messages, I do not know about that.

  8. Why are you repeating the exact same reponse in multiple threads? You're off to a bad start.

     

    Would you care to answer the question I asked? No one has done that in the public messages, yet. The question, again: what's issue when the toolbar can simply be un-selected? I now understand, from a private message, that the only difference between the Basic and Standard version is the toolbar. Seems like someone could have responded to my question with that info.

     

    It seems the real complaint from users should be that the inclusion of the toolbar in the Standard version is not known to site visitors if they do not click on the link on the main download page to Other builds. In other words, the option of the Basic version is somewhat hidden. I did not see that fact embedded in the messages I read that contained the complaints about the toolbar.

  9. Look through the forum and find the various threads about the toolbar, hint there is a search function on the forum and there's also a Google search for it that you could have did.

     

    ... search function ..., Google search... What for? My point was that the toolbar can simply be un-selected during installation of CCleaner.

     

    However, I now understand a key point that I was not sure of earlier today, which is that the only difference between the Basic version and the Standard version is the Yahoo toolbar. Seems strange to create two versions of the downloadable file when the only difference is the bundling of the toolbar and the user can easily elect not to install it when downloading the Standard version, but now I understand those are the facts.

  10. Ok, not to be confused with my thread in the software section, is there such a thing as a hardware temperature monitor that is EASY to hitch up to the computer (like say usb 2.0) and is digital? im thinking something like a digital thermometer the size of a small clock or something. ive looked a bit but couldnt find anything like that.

     

    thanks! :)

     

    SpeedFan will give you temperature readings.
  11. it's the user's fault for going to a website like that. also the more extensions you have, the slower firefox loads. i had about 10 of em once and when i started it, it loaded for about 4 or 5 seconds. without extensions, it's kinda slower.

     

    Comments here about IE being slow don't make sense to me. And, I haven't tweaked my IE. And, it's not slow.

     

    Last summer, I installed a new hard drive in my nephew's computer. I did fresh installation of Windows, MS Office, etc. I installed Firefox, just in case he wanted to use it. I found no significant difference speed between the two browsers. Neither took more than about 2 seconds for initial launch, as I recall.

  12. I was thinking of something like a note page that would sit on my desktop and I could place notes or reminders to myself.

     

    Got Outlook? It has Notes, and they can be placed on the desktop.

  13. Another download location that will allow you to download the clean installer that doesn't contain the Yahoo toolbar is from Softpedia.com here.

     

    I just joined this forum today and I see repeated comments about the Yahoo toolbar being part of the standard version download. Yet, I just downloaded that version today and simply un-selected the Yahoo toolbar at the screen that appears during installation to allow the user to specify certain features that will or will not be installed. It's just a matter of unchecking the box for Yahoo toolbar. So, what's all the fuss about!?
  14. Yeah, it is a good program. Too bad it comes with Yahoo! toolbar.

    And too bad its not open source.

     

    Hmmm, am I missing something here? I just downloaded and installed the standard version today. One of the screens that appears during the installation gives you some options about how it will be installed, including whether to include the Yahoo toolbar. You can easily choose not to include it. So, what's the problem?

  15. Is there a way to setup a bat file that will install ccleaner WITHOUT the yahoo toolbar and just using the defaults?

  16. Ran the cleaner and OE would not open. Moved the folder.dbx folder and was able to open OE but all my stuff is gone. Can anyone help. Several lockups since running cleaner. Any suggestions??

     

    Thanks,

     

    Popcorn

     

    Well, obviously, OE won't see the messages in your .dbx folder if you moved it and did not tell OE the new location or move your .dfx folder back to the original location.

     

    Did you backup your registry before telling CCleaner to delete stuff? If so, I think restoring the registry from that backup would be worth trying. Or, perhaps using Windows Restore to go back to a Restore Point prior to running CCleaner would resolve the problem. Of course, that would also undo some of the cleanup done by CCleaner.

  17. If viruses would be airplanes, then Outlook Express would be the airport.

    Running Outlook Express is not a good idea, it will most likely get you infected with some virus or spyware sooner or later. It a well-known cause for viruses.

     

    You should really look into Mozilla Thunderbird, it is an very good email client that is much more secure and supports IMAP, POP3 over normal and SSL (secure) connections.

    I've been an Outlook Express user for many years. I've got over 10,000 messages right now in OE. Using OE is not a problem with proper anti-virus protection and smart practices such as not opening email attachments from unknown senders.
  18.  

    And by the way make sure your user profile has Administrator priveleges when cleaning the registry, hence if it doesn't you'll never be able to remove invalid keys.

     

    I'm glad I discovered this forum and read your comment. I was scanning my Registry with CCleaner and kept getting the same items over and over. This was while logged on under a limited account. After reading your post, I logged on as Adminstrator, scanned again, and, this time, the items did not reappear upon a subsequent scan.
