Well it's still going. Why I thought it might be you is the apparent difference in opinions of CC.
There is a new post Optimizing the Registry. Same characters, same old stuff.

Most people on other sites/forums that post such comments aren't going to have their minds changed by someone from here jumping into their dicussion trying to properly inform/teach them. In most cases it's a waste of time to even try.
Did you by chance post there as neighbor*** and if you did you caused him to shut up at lease. He never gave an answer, just referred to the search for other people having problems using Reg Cleaners.
At least some people didn't let him get away with it.

"you should ask him how he knows it does this and what it does to damage the windows installation."
That's exactly why I posted! I'm not a PC person at all, know nothing, see nothing. Thought someone with some expertise might set him straight.

I recently ran CC Cleaner and where I had logged in to a web site, now I have to log in again. Does running this cleaner remove the log in information so that a person has to log in again?

It removed your cookies, so every site you log into you'll have to again...
Using a product like CC Cleaner can damage your Windows installation, and should not be used unless you understand exactly what it's doing."

The worst is the post has been read 56 time already, so a lot of those people will believe it also.

A guy that answers many questions on the Dell Forum, and usually right on, indicated today that CC and other cleaners do bad things.
Maybe one of you guys with more knowledge than I can straighten him out?

RegScrubXP was replaced by RegScrubVista but then the creator closed his website and went AWOL.
Something is seriously wrong.
I have both programs and they work flawlessly.
Didn't know about that. Do you see much difference in the Vista version? Wonder how I would find the new version. Maybe a Site somewhere that posts old out of date Programs will pick it up.

I happened to find it when I was seeking something and gave it a go, seems all right, I'm not sure since I've just cleaned the reg recently. anyway, you can give it a try if interested, it seems clean.

Been using it for years now. Never seems to have been a problem. I have used RegCleaners, all of them that I could find. Some are gimmicks, some are great. But after running any of them I then ran XP Reg Scrub and it will always find an entry or two. If you do download and use it, try the Miscl and Help section. Might be surprised at the information and tweaks you find.

Also, if you ever want to set up things for your pc, you can use Port Forward. I already linked directly to your router in the above link too.
You folks are really something! Just ask and get a bucket ready because you are going to get it full of information!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks very much to each of you. Most helpful to an old f**t like me.

Not just that. Don't Google search it. Enter it into your address bar. It should read http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.10.1 going by the IPs MP has said.
Thanks to both. It's quiet interesting. I'm going to have to do some research to try to find a user manual. According to the data in the Router (see at ch) it appears the Firewall is disabled! Do you read it as such?
I'm really smart! Forgot the atch. It's there not.

ok..type in 192.168.1.1 into your browser and then click Go, that should bring up a page asking for a user name and password which is listed below
ZSR0104CP (Grey color)
192.168.1.1
User Name: admin
Password: admin
ZSR0104CP-05 (Blue color)
192.168.10.1
User Name: guest
Password: guest
I have the Blue Router. Page won't open see attachment:
Please disregard my reply to your last post. I didn't read it proper and was putting the wrong dns in. Thanks a lot for the information. Would never have made it without your help.

Thanks for the reply. I have been all over this thing looking for info. Network Places, Control Panel, everywhere I can think of.
The brand id Zonet. Probably a throw away type. Paid $24.95 for it somewhere and have forgotten where. Had it long time before installing. A friend did that.
No paperwork at all. "I can see on the Router the following: Zonet Cable/DSL broadband Router, Auto-MDIX Switch, NAT SOHO Firewall, model ZSR0104CP, with 4-Port switch." That's all the information I can furnish.
Another friend, guessing, told me to put the gateway number into IE and it would bring it up. That make any sense?

I have a Cable Modem with a Router behind that connected to two PCs. Someone else hooked things up for me and this someone is no longer here.
I want to look into the Router Setting just to see what's there and what it contains. All is working well not but still would like to see.
I find no way to get there. Nothing that I know will get me to where I want to go.
Asking for direction/advice as to how I might do this.
Thanks

I got 868 first time, much less each time after. If the dude hits the dog mound he'll bounce further.

I believe WinPatrol will remove items from start-up or temporarily disable them. I use the Pro Version but am sure that the Free Version will also work that way.

Even if all your commercial software is legitimate, its still not their business.
You can stop all the contacting each time you start the PC. Use your Firewall to let it connect once. After that block it! Did that couple weeks ago and I was able to get the Updates this last Tuesday. Seems as if once you let it verify it doesn't need to again unless they send an Update to the subject program. Maybe then.

Hello Mudd,
I get that with the hosts file when I want to go back when browsing.
All I do is right-click on the back button and choose which page I want to go back to.
Learned something new today. That works for my PC also. Saves lot of time.
Thanks for the info. Appreciate that.

You should be happy.
To get rid of Flash.
95%+ of all all flash animations on the web are banners anyway.
No flash is a relief!
Eldmannen I have downloaded the HOSTS file and put it where it supposed to be. That seems to take care of the changing banners. I still get still shots of advertising. Maybe the Hosts file stops the moving ones.
I have something that is bothersome though. When I'm clicking links on a Web Page and going back to previous link It sticks with "Connecting to 127.0.0" and it's hard to get it past there. I'm wondering if this is because of the Hosts file. If you should know about this, would you give suggestions to correct it?

"My reason for this is the weather. I live in a very rural area, no cities to speak of within 50 miles. Use the Weather Station Radar from the cities to the West of here. I can tract a storm with the link very well,..."
I think you need Java, not Flash to use looping of radar like at the NOAA weather site.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are so right! As soon as I read your message my old brain ticked in and knew that was the problem. I did the Microsoft Updates. There were 56 of them. Evidently they didn't include Sun Java.
Thanks to everybody for the replies. One or more times I have been stumped and someone on this site helped. All Old Farts with PC problems should visit this site.

try tuneup utilities 2006. i use it all the time and fixes stuff for me.
Interesting software. Found a bushel of problems with the Registry. Took a chance and let it repair. Flash Player 8 will not run, still!
The software is a bit pricey but may go for it after I if it messes anything up.
Thanks.
-
Removed, restarted, installed, restarted and still no Flash Player. Add/Remove shows it's there. Something else is causing it not to install or install completely.
Thanks for the information.
-
I'll do the restart. However, the overnight off and morning on would be same as a restart, wouldn't it?
At the present time I have uninstalled the Flash Player. Will restart the PC, then install again. Will do a restart immediately.
From where can I get the program and install without using OE, which I have?

What operating system? You might want to check this out...

Been a while since submitting a Post. I forgot the protocols:
XP Media Center
1 GB Ram
3.2 GHz
The instructions indicate I will probably get the "Yellow Install Script" thing at the top. I don't, and maybe that's the reason.
I'm equivalent to Grammer School as concerns PCs. Shouldn't have said that as a lot of Grammer Students are well versed in PC now.
I read the URL you gave. Before I reformatted I think I had version 6.
My reason for this is the weather. I live in a very rural area, no cities to speak of within 50 miles. Use the Weather Station Radar from the cities to the West of here. I can tract a storm with the link very well, knowing when to get in a hole or leave! Our weather is very violent this time of year. So without the Flash Control, no Radar tracking.

Recently did a reformat and reinstall on PC. All is well after putting back what programs I wanted except for the Flash Player. From Macromedia's Home Page installed Flash Player 8.x,x. It seems to install. I get the finished Gif. Doesn't work though. I've tried several times, installed over the original, uninstalled and reinstalled, no help.
Would appreciate suggestion and help on this.

pwillener - I tried bpm2k's post and got what I was looking for. If had used good judgement and explored your post more I would not have had the trouble I had.
Thanks for giving me some rope on this.

Look below "TheFireInTheSky's" avatar. It says "aka neighboring".
Well I should have noticed but never do look there. When seeing something like this again I'll try to remember.
You didn't get a positive answer I see, just a "around the bush type."
