CCleaner stuck at 3% after upgrade

CCleaner for Windows
1

I installed the latest upgrade last week and it seemed to have a problem installing and locked the computer up. I restarted the computer and CCleaner wouldn't run. I uninstalled it and re- downloaded/installed it and then it would only go to 3%. I uninstalled the latest and rolled back to my earlier version and it did the same thing. I'm now back on the latest version but still it just sits at 3%. I even left it running overnight and it was atill on 3% when I got to work the next morning.

I also noticed that after the problem occured, now when I launch IE it keeps an entry in the "process" tab in task manager evertime I launch a IE window, even when I close IE. Then after it builds up several instants of the IE process' it won't open an IE window when I double click on the icon. It just blinks for a second and nothing happens except it adds another IE process in tack manager. I have 2 options at this point: 1) delete all instants of IE in task manager or 2) restart the computer.

I'm not sure if these are related but they both started occuring at the same time, just after I tried to install the lates version of CCleaner. I'm running Windows XP, Service pack 3, and IE8.

Thanks for your input,

Your problem with IE8 is not unusual and seems to be entirely due to IE8. It also seems to slow down other applications, which may account for the problem with CCleaner.

I suggest reverting to IE7 ... I did.

I'm not sure how to go back to IE7. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Looks like I figured out how to revert back to IE7. I just uninstalled IE8 and IE7 was there after reboot. This solved my problem with CCleaner.

Thanks for the help,
