I installed CCleaner on a networked computer which was running almost inoperably. I used CCleaner
to try to delete temporary internet files but this was at 0% after 1 hour so I removed cookies etc.
from the main screen which was done relatively prompltly.
I cleaned the registry (fix all selected issues) and took a backup of the it when it was in SP2. I have now
done an SP3 install.
I am getting some funny messages on the command prompt at startup namely:
C:\Ver null
C:\Ver> find XP
C:\>\\w2kpdc\repl\import\scripts\alms.bat
The application or DLL C:\Program Files\McAfee\Virus Scan Enterprise\mfedhia.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
The following processes have therefore taken place:
1. CCleaner Registry cleaner run when computer in XP SP2. File of deletions backed up.
2. PC updated to SP3 - SP3 install does its own backup of the registry.
3. Messages as above are seen on start up. No further cleaning of registry takes place.
Are these problems anything to do with CCleaner or the SP3 install?
I'm wondering how safe it would be to double click on the backup file now (if it would resolve these problems and has necessarily been the cause of them), or if this is an unwise moved based on the upgrade from SP2 to SP3 and that SP3 may have rewritten parts of the registry...
You're probably right about this - do you know how to remove or replace these scripts?
I'm guessing most of these problems started after the SP3 install and don't have much to do with CCleaner.
Am wondering what to do with McAfee - maybe there is a repair option in Add/Remove Programs or I can untick it from msconfig startup items as a temporary measure.
Also if I remove SP3 do you think this may cause further problems?!
