CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

Following DjLizard's help in this topic http://forum.CCleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=844

he has asked me to post about this here, so here I am. :D

Not sure what info you need so if you need more please do tell me what you require.

Basically after running CCleaner and clearing out everything including the registry issues I could no longer access my Yahoo emails using Firefox.

After signing in I just got a completely blank, white screen.

Now with DjLizard's help I can do this although the page layout is incomplete.

Hope this helps and please do ask for any further information that may assist.

I have had this problem before, but CCleaner did not cause the problem. It was just yahoo's server.

We're able to actually cause the problem using CCleaner. Right now, on this computer (at my workplace) I can cause CCleaner's own forums to appear screwed up (if I allow CCleaner to clean Firefox's cache). Same thing for me at home, and several of my customer machines.

Simple solution: run CCleaner twice. I've had this problem before with Firefox and CCleaner. All you have to do is run CCleaner twice, ie., press clean, then press clean again, then again just to be sure :lol: . It should work after you do that.

Then there remains a bug in CCleaner if it takes two cleans :P

6

This error occurs if you have Firefox running at the same time you run CCleaner. As it still thinks some of the temporary files still exist. I'm looking into a work-around for it. B)

Hmm. I see...

Didn't think of it this way, but I'm using Firefox preloader, which keeps it loaded even when it's not open.. so that explains a lot. :P

Yes, put at least the temporary solution will tide us over until we can get a patch :)

I tried the temporary solution on my WinXP Prof. w/ SP2 and 'clean' several times with FireFox 1.0.2 still running and it does not work--blank Yahoo mail page (make sure you are inside the Yahoo mailbox).

The only *sure* workaround is to go into FireFox Options->Privacy and manually clear the cache. Then the Yahoo mail page reappear properly.

Pretty annoying--as I use FireFox extensively now on all my PC's. Hope the fix comes out real soon.

Close all browser windows and THEN run CCleaner.

Thanks Tarun!!! You solved my problem. "Close all browser windows and THEN run CCleaner." Open their eyes and the blind shall see! Now - how are the brainless made to think? Thanks again!

Sometimes the most simple solution is the most obvious one.

Or in the case the one right in front of your eyes. (Even as you read this message!) :D

On any java type page if you runn CCleaner and do not reboot it will wipe out the forrmating, I do this all the time to kill flashing adds.

Just run CCleaner with all browser windows closed.

R.I.P.

These threads are dead DRVTACH, if you'd read them you'd have noticed we've posted the solution several times throughout this page. (You attacked me in another thread for supposedly not *reading*, yet here you are, not reading).

Sun Java is not Javascript is not a GIF is not a Flash animation

Unfortunately, the manual cache cleaning is the only solution for me personally because of the following:

1. I need to run CCleaner in an automated/unattended fashion. Currently I set up a Windows scheduled task that is executed every night on all my PCs.

2. I need to keep all the FireFox browser windows open without interruption at all times as I have lots of work tied to the tabs in the windows that I don't want to close. The FireFox tabs feature is what really caused me to switch browser as I can have many tabs accessible without cluttering the desktop. Closing the browser windows means I will lose all my work.

Thx for the tmp workaround but unfortunately it doesn't help in my situation.

Try to run CCleaner on startup using the /AUTO command.

I tested this myself. Not only did I have missing graphics, my modem couldn't dial up afterward. I had to do a system restore.

Ok that's just plain absurd.
