If you can't find any definitive info on that particular key, and if all you virus scans are coming up clean, I would simply accept that it's needed by something and "Exclude" it from CCleaners scan. http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/using-ccleaner/excluding-files,-folders,-and-registry-entries Unusual entries in the registry can be malware related, but "HKCR\Interface\" entries are normally legitimate and required entries (from my limited research on the subject). So if all is well with your computer, then just put it out of sight. If you're hell bent on getting rid of it, then back-up your registry first with something like "ERUNTGui", and try deleting it in "Safe Mode". http://www.freewarefiles.com/ERUNTgui_program_51480.html Personally, I would just "Exclude" it. EDIT: Welcome to the forum by the way Antag.

If you have a drive letter then that gives us another option, and that is to scan the drive with a program which can scan raw data, which is the way Windows is seeing your drive at the moment. If Recuva can't scan your drive, and I'm assuming you have tried to scan with Recuva, then have a try with "Lazersoft Data Recovery" which will scan raw data on a corrupt drive. Lazersoft Recovery Suite Home: (Free) Try the "File Recovery" option first, and let us know how you get on. You could always try the "Partition Recovery" option if you have no success with the file recovery. I guessed you didn't have a back-up joey. The idea was to make a back-up Image of your drive as it is now, and to restore the Image if any "repair" attempts failed to then try something else. However, as you have a drive letter, then we don't need to do that at the moment as Lazersoft won't try to write anything to your drive.

Hi joey, and welcome to the forum. Doing a "quick format" on the drive may do the trick, but I never like asking folk to format a drive (even just a quick format) without looking at making a backup of the drive first. To that end, how big is the drive? The freeware I have in mind will make a back-up Image the same size as the drive. USB Image Tool 1.64: There are ways to attempt a repair to a corrupt drive, but once again, a back-up is essential as this isn't an exact science and things can go wrong. A back-up Image can be restored to the drive to try again. If you want to chance a "Quick Format" (NOT a full format), then that will initialize the file system and enable it to be scanned, and you will need to check the box for "Scan for non-deleted files" in "Options\Actions". Does the drive have a letter at the moment and can Windows see it?

Don't have an answer to add I'm sorry to say, but I edited the title to what I think you intended. Let me know if it's wrong.

They might just do the job Alan. Have to add them to my seat as well. That's why you've never hit this issue. I found a while ago that switching to 75hz also works to set the screen straight. I actually did a bit of googling to see if there were any negatives to running my XP in 70hz (monitor handles up tp 75), and it's possible that one might come across the occasional full screen program which may have issues, but other than that OK, and I've no idea if those statements were accurate. Running at 70hz would negate the issue.

What an amazing idea.

A curiosity for you guys. Every time I try out a new Linux distro, on loading it up I find my monitor screen offset about quarter of an inch to the right. Some time back I discovered that switching the screen refresh rate from 60hz to 75hz cured that, and this is usually very easy to do in most distros using the "Display" settings gui. Sadly a couple of distros, Zorin being one of them, don't have an easy way to do this. It has to be done via a "terminal" window. The curiosity aspect of this post is I'm wondering if you guys with XP systems are running at the default XP refresh rate of 60hz? I know login has ran (or still runs) Linux on an XP machine and from previous topics we've had I also know he doesn't get this screen offset anomaly. Strangely enough, I also remember that I came across just one distro (the only one) that didn't offset my screen, but did offset Logins. Weird. But I can't remember which one it was. Anyways, are you guys who are running Linux on an XP machine running at 60hz. And do any of you get this screen offset when your Linux is running from a CD or USB? Seeing as this topic was probably started by a spammer, off-topic is good.

Just the type of thing for folk to watch out for.

I've just had a heads up from one of the devs that this is an issue quite common to them, and the "lead cause" being the removal of the exe extension by the computers firewall. The solution being the name change you already carried out.

I use Ghostery with two browsers John although I don't use IE at all, and it never creates a problem.

Feel free mta, although I didn't set out to create a list, and I have to say that I have no objections against, or problems with, software installs which give you a clear "opt-out" choice of whether or not to install stuff like non-problematic toolbars. Suppliers of free software have to raise revenue, but if you guys come across installers which are close to, or actually cross, the line of being fair and upfront, then feel free to give folks a heads-up about them. For example OpenCandy always have a very clear agreement section in an installers EULA (and how many folk never read them), but the Auslogics installer makes no mention of what is tagged onto the back of it. And I omitted to mention above (senior moment) that during the install process, and the appearance of that Conduit licence agreement, Process Explorer and Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) were both closed down. During my second and third test this didn't happen, but something surely affected both the first time. Just as well I was checking out the new versions under the virtual protection of Returnil.

Make of the first one what you will, but being forewarned as they say ... ImgBurn: I've used this program for many years, but noticed with the latest update that "Open Candy" is now part of the install. You can get around this in a couple of ways if you really want to stick with the program, Which I actually do. Auslogics Disk Defrag: This one is more serious. Nothing in the EULA about any type of add-on or passenger, but shortly after the install seems to be complete, there are a few seconds delay and then this is downloaded ... And if you want to see the potential serious consequence of some unknowing user following through with that offer, see hazels topic here ... http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=40339 And I'll take this opportunity to bang on as loudly as I can for everyone to always read the EULA of any program you are intending to install. Even a program you've happily used for years. EDIT: Both downloaded I will add, from highly respected and reputable sources, and I triple checked the Auslogics install to make sure it wasn't coming from something else.

That's interesting hazel, and something I haven't come across before.

It'll probably be won by some master crook.

Hi Stallion, and welcome to the forum. I'm not sure which program you're expressing your thanks for as Piriform has more than one ... http://www.piriform.com/docs ... but whichever, your thanks are appreciated all the same.

Hi John. Where are you downloading from? I've just checked the Piriform, FileHippo and CNET downloads, and they all check out as .exe files. http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download http://www.cnet.com/1770-5_1-0.html?query=ccleaner&tag=srch CNET provided for info as I would never personally use that site.

Yea, Tas is my ever reliable backup for when my memory fails. Pinned it.

Took mine back. Couldn't get it in the alcove.

Log in and change your password LuLu. Chances are you haven't been "got at" so do a change to be on the safe side. Just changed mine, and thanks for the heads up hazel.

Hi quilla333, and welcome to the forum. With all due respect, this looks like an ad for Wondershare rather than a genuine request for help. Firstly, if you purchased Recuva, then that entitles you to priority support from the programs developers, which is where you should really direct your comments. http://www.piriform.com/support Secondly, did you know that Recuva has a fully functioning free version, which is where you probably should have started? And finally, if we were to try and aid you, a bit more detailed information would help. From where did you lose your photographs and what happened in the first instance for you to lose them? Were they deleted from a camera\card\phone or whatever, or was there a problem of some sort with the hardware you were using. If a camera, what make and model, which will aid in ascertaining the file type used by that camera (jpg, raw). You can help us to help you, if we can.

This wasn't a case of needing something like that, it was the issue described here and fixed by hazels link ... http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=40021&do=findComment&comment=243018 Probably not mikes problem, but posted just to show how unknown influences can affect an auto-update.

I had a problem recently with the auto-update window telling me that I couldn't download the update and that I had to "purchase" ... ... and then when I selected "cancel" and ran it again it worked fine. Turned out this was due to outdated root certificates on my PC. Once I had managed to get a long-running Microsoft Update issue fixed, and the optional "root certificates update" installed, then it worked fine. Maybe something similar.

Hi RetiredEngineer. I can't find any mention of this in the Defraggler guide ... http://www.piriform.com/docs/defraggler ... but it's just a simple performance test I believe of your drives read\write ability, measured against some recognized parameters. I have no idea (although the devs will) the source of the parameters used in this test, but it's relatively quick (in my case it was) and gives you a guide as to it's current performance. In progress: Displayed result: Appears to be a "random read test" only. No writing to the drive. I would say it's an addition to the "Smart" measurement details displayed for any drive, and if any of the guys can give you a more technical description than that I'm sure they will. Hope that helps.

With CCleaner Pro, if the relevant box is checked (and it may not be by default, can't remember) ... "Options\Settings\Automatically check for updates to CCleaner" ... and an update is available, then after launching CCleaner you should get a pop-up window telling you so, and asking if you want to download and install it. If this isn't happening, and you do have that box checked, then I would contact the developers direct and let them know. There may be something not quite right with your installation, but I'm sure they would sort it if you made them aware. http://www.piriform.com/support EDIT: Welcome to the forum by the way mike.
