Faulty Boot-Up After Running CCleaner

Running CCleaner (Latest Version) on a XP SP2 system just prior to evening shut-down. Next morning, it takes at least two attempts at boot-up to get a good one. First boot-up will result in freeze when attempt made to launch any program. Ctl-Alt-Delete does not help. Skipping use of CCleaner prior to shut-down eliminates problem.

My mistake! CCleaner NOT the bad guy here. Did not run CCleaner last night, and computer failed to boot properly this morning. Ergo, something else is causing the problem.

Thanks for letting us know :)

Hope you get things sorted

Perhaps test your installed memory with freeware like MemTest86+, and/or Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic.
