Hi all.

How would you rate CCleaner's built-in registry cleaner?

Choose:

1. Safe. No need to check the results.

2. Enouph safe, but the results still must be analized.

3. Moderately Safe...

4. Crashed all my home PCs (lol).

Also, a few words about its accuracy and efficiency. Thx... ^_^

5. safe as registry cleaning can be deemed safe. Always check what your deleting.

3

5.

(given that 5 is much like 2 in your list then given only your choices 2 but 5 is my answer (see my signature)

4

1.5 :D No problems yet, and "cautiously optimistic".

5

Most important, take note of the CCleaner dialogue and make the backup of the entries CCleaner is gonna remove.

I've ran CCleaner with all "Issues" checked for 3 years and never had a problem, but I still make a backup.

Hi guys,

as a professional lama, I have "cleaned" the registry (using CCleaner) without any knowledge of what I deleted. The system obviously crashed and won't start. I know I have done something really stupid and I am not proud of it. But I hope someone could help.

I've done a registry backup but I cannot log-in (not even in the safe-mode) to use it. My XP Home edition just freezes on the boot screen any doesn't go any further.

Any ideas what to do to save the current sys?

I cannot get further than here in "normal" mode:

And no further than here in "safe" mode:

Last known good configuration had the same result as starting in both "normal" and "safe" mode. PC goes to windows boot screen and then restarts.
