Ccleaner hangs at 5%

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

I have CCleaner - latest version- on an XP Desktop and a Vista Laptop. On the Laptop when I press 'Run Cleaner' it hangs for ages at about 5 per cent- Internet Explorer History - even when there is almost nothing in History. Afeter some time it goes on to finish cleanup. On the XP Desktop there is no such problem.

CCleaner should display the file it is hanging on...is it a file named index.dat ?

Yes - index.dat seems to be where it hangs for a while.

I've got that problem too. As a workaround, you can either stop deleting the IE history or exclude index.dat :unsure:

Thanks - I have unticked IE History OK but I can't figure out how to exclude (or even find!) index.dat.
