Hi all
Never seen a CCleaner crash before, but v5.10.5373 64bit crashes when opened for 1st time after booting about 3 times in 5.
Nothing in event log.
Subsequent opening of CCleaner is ok.

Hi all
I started this thread a while back.
Anyone know if it is safe to install and trust Speccy on a Windows 7 Ultimate box?
I would try it myself - but I simply can't afford a lock up and power down via the "Off" switch.
Thanks

Ah - found it!
If you have "Internet Explorer | History" selected in CCleaner, it will make the Indexer forget that you don't want to index IE history.

Hi all
In the "Indexing Options" widget from the control panel, I untick "Internet Explorer History" because I use Firefox.
However, I noticed that if I run CCleaner the "Internet Explorer History" entry is re-ticked!!
Anyone know which option in CCleaner I can uncheck to override this behaviour?
(I have "Applications | Windows | MS Search" unticked)

I was responding to a Like*** who hijacked your topic.
I would not have bothered answering his hijack had I realized he was also starting his own topic.
Gotcha - thanks mate.

I don't have Steam installed.
I would love to use Speccy again on my Windows 7 Ultimate box - any news on the problem???

yes speccy involves actions that need admin elevation. it should automatically prompt you in vista/7
Nope - never saw a single prompt!
-
are you running speccy UAC elevated? is WMI service running (it needs to be) try the portable version of speccy
Hi mate
To be honest, I did not run Speccy as Admin. Will it only run on Windows 7 in "Admin" mode? - if so I think that should be made clear somewhere.
Yes - WMI is running.
I am going to give Speccy a miss until I absolutely need it - I can't afford to keep powering off my PC without doing a "graceful" shut down - that's one of the ways to mess up Windows.

Hi mate
No - I have been using Speccy for ages with no trouble. I recently upgrade from XP SP3 to Windows 7 Ultimate on my Dell 8300.
Speccy is the only program to fail - but I know it's still a top program.
I can't run Speccy in any mode and have removed it. Anything else I can post to be of help??

Hi all
Just installed Speccy 1.16.0.317 on my Windows 7 Ultimate box.
When I start Speccy, it tells me the OS and then "Analysing" for everything else. After about 2 seconds the spinny thing bottom left stops spinning and the PC is completely locked up. Only recourse is the power off button.

Hi all
Speccy v1.14.288 running on a Dell 8300 Dimension under XP SP3.
Two of my four PCI slots are in use:
Slot 1 - Empty
Slot 2 - Empty
Slot 3 - an old Conextant 56K MODEM (which is disabled)
Slot 4 - a Dell badged Creative Audigy 2
However, Speccy shows all 4 slots as "Available".
Also - Speccy show my AGP slot type as "UNKNOWN" - but picks up "AGP1" as the designation.
I only just noticed this so do know when it started.
I suspect it's down to the Dell motherboard not playing nicely with Speccy !
Thanks for the great software.

Hi all
I have set my cleaning choices using the checkboxes and CCleaner cleans my chosen areas - great.
Sometimes I just want to clean the temp folder, or browser cache but can't be bothered unchecking, cleaning and then re-checking all those checkboxes.
Would it be possible to save multiple checkbox choices as "profiles"?
For example, I could have a "Default" profile and a "Temp Folder" profile.
The checkbox choices would be different in each profile and I can select any profile from my list. Once I select a profile - CCleaner sets up the checkboxes as per the saved profile.
If this has been suggested before - apologies. If not - cool.

Very strange.
If you place other files in C:\Temp, do they get removed?
Yes, they do. CCleaner does a great job, except on the Kaspersky .tmp files.
-
Are you able to clean them if you disable Kaspersky self-defense as shown in the link? (don't forget to turn it back on after trying it )
Hi hazelnut
Great suggestion - I disabled self defence - but same result - I simply cannot get rid of the Kaspersky .tmp files using CCleaner!
Peace
-
Don't use Kaspersky myself but found these links, perhaps they may help.

Thanks, but no - those are not the files I am talking about if you look at my original post...
-
As far as I'm aware CCleaner removes files from commonly used temporary folders providing the files are not exclusively locked.
Richard S.
Nope - it does not. The Kaspersky temp files remain in place after running CCleaner.
And yes, I have "Windows | System | Temporary Files" ticked...

Hi gang
I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 installed - which is great.
However, it seems to generate loads of temp files - any chance CCleaner can zap them???
Thanks!

Tools => Startup is heavily involve in the Registry.
"ntuser.dat" and "ntuser.dat.LOG" are updated either before or after a shut-down reboot,
and also when you do "heavy lifting" in the registry.
I do not think they belong in the root of C:\ unless you have a very strange place for your User Profile.
My user profile has not been touched since Windows install, and is in the default place for XP.
I simply delete the 2 files.
-
do you have an item that ccleaner lists as no date?
Just to help diagnosis - I am running XP Pro 32 bit, SP3.
I have an item in my uninstall list with no date, and the sort works correctly when I click the "Install Date" column header. Tried several times - no crashes.

Hi all
Version 3.08 of CCleaner...
If I select "Tools | Startup" the following files are added to the root of drive C:.... "ntuser.dat" and "ntuser.dat.LOG"
This is not a big issue, and the files can be deleted. The issue started with this version of CCleaner.
Windows XP 32 bit, Service Pack 3
v5.10.5373 - crashes on opening
in CCleaner Bug Reporting

Hi hazelnut
Yes - you are correct - I have 3 dump files in my foler.
It does not crash every time. Not to worry - sure it will be fixed at some point.
Cheers
