I tried CCleaner for the first time today. After rebooting, the printer didn't come up and I wondered if it was CCleaner that caused the problem. The only part of CCleaner I used was the "issues" button.
When I tried to restore the registry, it wouldn't restore. I went to my documents where the files were stored, right-clicked, clicked on "merge" and got an error message saying the registry could not be accessed.

Please help.
Are you logged on as an administrator, if not try that. Maybe also try doing it in safe mode
I ask because I've noticed on Windows XP that some registry files that begin with the heading of REGEDIT4 sometimes won't import, and those that don't have to be changed to:

I'm using XP. Also, I am logged in as administrator and did try it in safe mode and still got the same error message.

You can try to uninstall CCleaner, run another registry cleaner like eraser and reinstall it. If this doesn't work there's something wrong with your computer.
Yes, but not for this reason. We'd had computer problems with trying to uninstall games, and I'd messed up the computer with my nVidia by pressing a button in its control panel that I shouldn;t have. So we restored back to a couple of months ago using Norton Ghost backup files, then uninstalled the games, then downloaded CCleaner to clean up the messy registry. All seemed to work well, until I noticed the printer wouldn't come online. So we thought CCleaner had something to do with that and tried to restore the registry. We're hesitant to use system restore again. There's too much that could be destroyed. The printer's back and doint fine, but why can't we restore the save registry files? That doesn't make sense.
