I've been having the "Run Cleaner" problem with the newest version. These are the items I have selected, pretty much the same ones I've used in every version.
edit: not entirely sure but I have a feeling it might be Java. When I de-selected it everything seemed ok. The program always closes when the Java console is running in the tray.
It fails for me when I check Windows Explorer/Recent Documents. Any other combinations of check marks works fine. i am on xp sp2, using CCleaner 1.15.078.

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this but here it goes.
The problem is CCleaner shuts down when I try to back up the issues prior to fixing them. I can run the cleaner with no probs but when I scan for issues and go to fix them it shuts down when I try to back them up.
I am running WinXP SP2 and my CCleaner version is 1.15.078.
I do not have the shut down problem when backing up issues with the previous version.
If you need a screen print please tell me how to do that as I do not know how to get a screen print.

to do a print screen, you need to find a button/key on your keyboard that say "print screen" or something similar. press it when you want to capture the current screen. then open up a image edition program (microsoft paint for example) and then paste it. save it.
I updated today the new Version of CCleaner, it's all ok, but under "Applications" it doesn't show "Adaware", but i have Adaware 1.05 SE on my System. I use Windows 98SE. Has anyone else the same Problem ?

Never used a forum post before, so please excuse if this format is wrong in replying. and apologoes for the long post.
I am using CCleaner v.1.17.090 and after a lot of testing found out that the combination that causes CCleaner to shutdown, not clean the selected items, or remember selection changes, occurs when BOTH Autocomplete Form History and Recent Document History are selected. All other item selections/combinations are irrelevant. If these items were not both selected and then you select both, if you then directly press the Run Cleaner button, you will find that it will work correctly (and continue to work correctly while you click on the Run Cleaner button, until you exit the program and then run CCleaner again, then it fails to work correctly and shuts down when clicking on the Run Cleaner button.
Also if you find you have these two items selected and you deselect either one or even both of them and then click the Run Cleaner button, the programs shuts down and loses your selection changes you made prior to pressing this button.
To effect the change you need to deselect either one or both of the above mention items (and make any other changes you desire), and then press the Exit button. This then correctly saves the changes you have made, thus ensuring that both Autocomplete Form History and Recent Document History are NOT simultaneously selected, which then ensure correct operation of CCleaner, instead of it just shutting down and doing nothing and forgetting any item selection changes.
Making Option changes does get remembered correctly even if the program subsequently closes when pressing the Run Cleaner button.
Here endeth the info.
Hope this helps in quickly fixing this bug.
Many thanks for a great program.
Could you include a shredder option to specify the byte/bytes data that you want to overwrite the deleted files with, and the number of shred times you want to repeat doing this. Also include a random key generator option, where you just specify the number of bytes length and number of shreds, for all the really paranoid users out there.
Great program. Well, ok, it would be if it worked.
Here's the thing. Latest version CCleaner, XP Home, SP2, have deselected every tick box that can be cleaned, hit Run Cleaner and poof, it vanishes.
I have tried to deselect things, exit and try again, same thing happens. I have rebooted, tried again, same thing happens. I am only posting this as it seems to be a new wrinkle- instead of deselecting a couple of items I deselected all, and still have this "bug". I'll keep trying , as I'm sure we all will. These things work out eventually. But when it's sorted out, this app will be the second most used on my machine!
