CC won't run "Cleaner" on my Win98SE machine, but

Thanks for the info rr1165.

I don't know where you downloaded your v10.21 when Microsoft only offer Process Monitor v2.04. And a web search doesn't show anything. ;)

Keithuk, can you spell Process E X P L O R E R?

Also, note the existence of MSIMG32.DLL, on my machine, for CC to run under Win98SE. Remember that discussion....

MikeW, I looked into this further - the new version of Process Explorer, offered by Microsoft, does not include Win98SE in the system requirements - BUT - there appear to be sites on the INTERNET that provide the version I have, 10.21, for download. FileHippo is one of them: http://www.filehippo.com/download_process_explorer/

No guarantees...

Ok I downloaded Process Explorer 11.33 because it says Windows (All Versions) but it doesn't work, no errors but nothing happens. I downloaded Process Explorer 10.21 and that does work. I noticed that I have avgamsvr.exe running in the background, it doesn't show in Task Manager. I don't have AVG running all the time whats he point. Thats how come it found a virus in the Temporary Internet Files 6 moths ago and it deleted it. I've often wondered how it could do that.

Thats a great tip rr1165 thanks for showing. ;)

Like v2.15 to v2.17, v2.18 does not run correctly on Win98se machine. The main function of CCleaner, the "Cleaner", no longer works. It neither find nor delete more than 0 byte, just because it does no analyse of the system.

Can somebody explain us at least what have changed beetwen v2.14 and v2.15 ?

We are here on the official forum for CCleaner, it can't be too difficult to reply to such a question.

Thank you !

As I've said before Jean 2.17 used to lock the computer when I did a Analyse. I installed 2.18 the other day and did an Analyse and it didn't lockup. I've just done an Analyse and its locked up again. I'm not really bother about that because I never use Analysis. ;)

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with CCleaner.

We haven't been able to reproduce this issue in house. All versions return the same results and function properly.

Can someone having the problem post a saved list of files that are found by v2.14?

Simple steps:

1 - Run analyze,

2 - Right click on the results pane,

3 - Select "Save to text file",

4 - Post the file to this thread or email it to me directly.

We appreciate your help!

Thanks

So, as I put in the title, my old Win98SE machine (a Pentium III 500 with 128 memory) won't run the "Clean" part of CC. I click on "analyze" and it immediately says "0" to remove. :(

However, I ran the "Registry" part of it, and it took a TON of old crap off. :blink:

I know I have old cookies and whatnot, because if I go into Options and click "Cookies", it find a whole pile of them, but they don't appear in the "Clean" part. :unsure:

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Aage

The files are probably 'locked' which means they are in use. One app can change a file at a time

No problem if it didn't lock my system so nothing responds so I have to press reset to restart. I haven't tried the /debug switch I don't know it that will work. ;)

I tried it with the /debug switch and it analysed without crashing. I thought that was strange so I tried it again. This time it analysed a lot faster and still didn't crash. I tried it as normal and it still didn't crash, strange.

I've just seen a new post Analyze Starts at 39% - Hangs I don't know if its related. ;)

Well the CCleaner 2.19.900 locks up when I Analyse just the same as the last version. :(

I am happy to report that the latest release (v2.21.940) fully works on my Win98SE machine. The announcement for this release says "Fixed Win98 support".

Thank you, Piriform developers!

Yes I'm happy to say that v2.21.940 now works as it should do on Win9x/ME without locking up when it Analyses and it clean ALL unwanted cookies. ;)
