    Steam issues after use CCleaner

    in CCleaner Bug Reporting

    Posted

    "Latest four versions" (said it at the third line above) I guess that means  that I said I have the last version installed. 4.15.4725 (free version of course) :P

     

    Some people might have resorted back to a version that does not cause the problem like you indicated, so one has to make sure what specific version you are currently referring to.

     

    Do you mind including a screen shot of your Application tab and results if run a analyze only ?

    As I (and some other users) am using steam but I cant duplicate the result you are getting with version 4.15.4725.

    Hosts File Update

    in Windows Security

    Posted

    Okay, so some users said they can't see the download "button" on the MVPS.org website.

    Here is something to help out the FireFox users.
     
    First you will need to install Greasemonkey if you do not got it already.
     
    Then navigate to    %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\   {random}.default    \gm_scripts
     
    Create a folder called "Hosts" , within the newly created folder create a file called  "Hosts.user.js" open the .js file with notepad copy the following code in and save the file.

     

     

     

    // ==UserScript==
// @name        Hosts
// @namespace   namespce
// @include     http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

var table = null;
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < tables.length; i++) {
	if (tables[i].getAttribute('title') == 'Download hosts.zip') {
		table = tables[i];
	}
}
if (table) {
	var div = document.createElement('div');
	div.innerHTML = '<table><tr><td><input type="button" style="width: 200px; height: 200px; font-weight: bold; background-color:#00FF00; " name="Download" value="Download Hosts"></td></tr></table>';
	div.style.position = 'absolute';
	div.style.top = table.style.top;
	div.style.left = table.offsetLeft;
	table.parentNode.insertBefore(div, table);
}
var inputBoxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < inputBoxes.length; i++) {
	var inputBox = inputBoxes[i];
	if (inputBox.name == 'Download') {
			inputBox.addEventListener("click", getFile,true);
		}
	}
function getFile () {
window.open("http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.zip");
}

     

     

     

    I know the code is sloppy but it works.

    Good, I'm glad it's not just me then.

    The most important info on that page is the hardest to find and takes up the smallest space.

    Their underpaid web guy needs to put a nice big green DOWNLOAD button on it somewhere.

     

    Mta is this what you want ??

    Come on, here, Hav0c, lighten up a little bit.  :D

    No real need to tell us XPers what we should decide. 

    No offense taken here, but others may not know you as well as I do. 

     

    Yea, maybe I have been a little hard on XPers (really XPers ??? :D ).

     

    Sorryyyyy^_^

    What is Java ?????? <_<

     

    Java just went down hill really fast, what a shame :blink: .

    XP users will need to decide when, not if, they are going to get with the times.

    What is your most scariest moment ?

    I was once out on a school field trip, one kids dad was a brass in the air force so he organized for a flip in a Oryx.

    The teacher slip the class up boys and girls and the girls went first.

     

    When it was our turn we asked if we could fly with the doors open, this wasn't a strange requests as they usually did fly with the doors open. So the pilot took us up, doors open.

     

    Then the fun started the pilot did some tricks with us, zigging and zagging, steep climes and more. He even did this nice little "trick" where he switch off he engines and let the chopper glide, called autorotating. So the extremely fun day came to an end.

     

    Couple of days later I was told that pilot that took us up that day ALREADY wrote of 2 choppers while doing tricks....... 

    Needles to say thinking back it was a scary trip knowing what I know now.

    On the topic of calling a spade, a spade

     

     

     I wonder if you, Kas, may have too much time on your hands or maybe hang out in many different forum lounges and copy paste your subjects and posts.

     

    Sometimes I am thinking the exact same thing.....

     

    @ also Nergal

     

    In answer to your question - I have no problem whatsoever in being a versatile thinker. I did hope that my contributions would inspire discussion and interest in THE LOUNGE, but obviously I am wasting my time if the staff say things like you have just done.

     

    I resent both of your distasteful comments for trying to create interesting discussion topics and request that you cancel my account with the Forum immediately. If I do ever decide to pop in now and again, then I will do it as a Guest where I will not be subject to somewhat juvenile ridicule by senior staff members.

     

    Best wishes and Good - bye

    Kas

     

    You may have no problem being a versatile thinker but some others may, case in point your Sky dive post. In to days world one must be a versatile thinker just to stay ahead in life. But there are limits one has to consider namely the audience you are addressing or interacting with.

     

     

    PS - As my account cannot be cancelled, I will at least for a while give the Forum a prolonged rest. If you  do see me logged in, then it is that ghostly presence which has done it, not me.

     

    Remember to uncheck the "Remember me" check box on the log in page, clear your temp files and cache then you will not log in by accident.

     

     

    Back to the topic.

    All depend on your religion if you belief in ghosts or not.

    NOTE: the above is the only thing I will say about religion, I will not go in any argument regarding religion.

    Transparency behind Registry Cleaner feature

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    I like to clean the registry after a virus hit that has been cleaned by a AV as most if not all AVs do not scan for registry values.

    I also clean the registry after installing a couple of applications, "why ?" some of you may ask, well let me explain why I do it.

     

    I see the registry as a MASSIVE telephone book, with sections and entries.

    Sections being the different HKEY values and the entries, well the entries below every HKEY. Now over time the phone book gets adds, and you are using a old book. So how does one remove the adds and the old phone numbers to speed up the process ? One tears out the unneeded pages or write them down. So doing speeding up the next search for that number.

     

    So by using a register cleaner, one shortens the search process for a specific applications value and removing all the "adds".

    (NOTE: this can backfire as well if you do not make the backups of the registry value)

     

    and Mta is correct in stating that there is usually very little performance benefit.

     

    Does anyone even know of an open source reg cleaner so that once can have a look at the algorithms ?

    The problem with putting all posts into a thread doesn't mean anyone will read them before they download. 

     

    I mean do you go to a forum before you download software?

     

    Lets wait and see how Piriform respond to this.

     

    Depending on the sort of software I am about to download, yes. I also use 5 FireFox addons to stop fake links and more, MBAM, Spybot and my AV.

     

    I can see your point Hazelnut.

    Is it just me or does it look like people use more color and bigger fonts in their post when they are mad ?? <_< .

    (don't think it helps conveying anything)

     

    Okay back to topic.

    This is the 4th or 5th post in the last couple of months people start to complain about this sort of "problems" / "tricks".

    It also seems to me and perhaps others that people aren't reading any of the previous posts made regarding this sort of complains.

     

    Moderators, is there a way to consolidate all the previous complains posts about this sort of "problems" / "tricks" into one and pin it ?

    Save as CSV format

    in Speccy Suggestions

    Posted

    Hi,

    So Speccy currently can only save a file in one of two formats XML and Text file. All fine and dandy but is it possible to implement save as CSV tab delimited as well ?

     

    So doing allow importing into Excel a lot easier and cleaner.

    70 years later, D-Day vet Jim 'Pee Wee' Martin jumps agian

     

     

    Jim "Pee Wee" Martin acted like he'd been here before, like jumping from a plane is as easy as falling off a log.

     

    His jump Thursday in the same area was different and -- despite his being 93 years old now -- a whole lot easier.

    In my family we only had two types of dogs, American Pit Bull Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. So I am a dog person by heart.

     

    Cats was and still is seen as a nuisance.
