Same exact issue, same family of CPU. Pulls the same error while attempting to clean Firefox.
The thread tried to execute an invalid instruction
CCleaner v3.11.1541
MS Windows XP Home SP3
AMD-K6-III Processor (My CPU is actually a AMD K6 III+ 550Mhz)
512MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (PCI Version)
And I'm using Firefox 7.0.
It's a growing trend with modern software I'm noticing; they always seem to want at least a more modern processor with an SSE instruction. Probably a lot of developers forget that there's still quite a few old CPUs that will still run Windows XP, and if they're running XP then the user is going to try and run modern software written for it. Obviously you don't have this problem with even more ancient hardware which can't handle anything over Windows 98: the kernel prevents anything remotely modern to run.
Magi, I can't even update Directx without an "invalid instruction" error. Windows XP loses Windows Update support (I think in 2014) anyhow, so it's just a matter of time before even keeping around these old boxes for simple internet usage becomes impractical. Then at best we're going to have to swap over to some light weight linux distros. That's not to say I don't have a better computer already, I use a Phenom II X4 940 with a nvidia 480 in my main rig. It's still fun messing around with these older machines though.
Magi, I wasn't able to find any .dmp generated by CCleaner on my hard drive. So don't be surprised if you can't find one either.
And like I said in my PM:
"I narrowed it down to 3 settings which cause the crash:
Firefox/Mozilla-
Internet History
Cookies
Compact Databases
Simply analyzing "Cookies" causes the crash, but I am able to analyze "Internet History" and "Compact Databases". If any of those 3 are checked while trying to clean however, any one of those can cause the crash"
The last working version of CCleaner for me was 3.08.1475.
EDIT
here is my inin file
[Options]
(App)Memory Dumps=False
Wait, am I suppose to create a INI file to get CCleaner to generate a .dmp?
EDIT2
Ah, never mind. That's just to set whether or not "Memory Dumps" should be cleaned.
I know where the .dmp files are suppose to go, but it really wasn't generating anything. I ended up having to use "User Mode Process Dumper Version 8.1" to finally get a .dmp to generate. I just hope that method works well enough to work for him (if it somehow doesn't generate a .dmp with enough information or the like).
Thought I'd post an update for those wondering. It's not Firefox cleaning that's causing it; it's Thunderbird. (Thunderbird is also cleaned when Mozilla Firefox is checked). MrT claims it's something to do with the SQLite libraries.
He says he'll let me know if they're able to come up with a solution. Needless to say though, the latest version 3.11.1550 still crashes for me.
I have tired the memory dump it deletes as soon as I close the program and I have unchecked anything in ccleaner having to do with mem dumps or temp files. tired the newist version today CCleaner Portable 3.11.1550 ,same crap but if you uncheck everything to with firefox it works.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.23) Gecko/20110920 Firefox/3.6.23
I can go down the list in firefox clean one at a time checking, as soon as i get to firefox cookies "Crash"
Still cannot get mem dump it deletes before I can get it.

really wish somebody would fix this , after what 4 vers same crap ((
someone is over looking something it still does not work and now Recuva Portable 1.41.537
crashes someone is doing something wrong way bad , if the people that make this software only want yo lean to the newer os or hardware why no just say so , you shooting yourself in the foot.
Magi I have no idea why you would have written the previous post
at no point did anyonje say XP sp3 was not supported and "the people that make this software" posted just 8days ago that
they were working on it
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to reproduce this problem. When this happens, it takes longer for us to be able to find a solution.
You say someone is overlooking something. Well honestly since they (and I) am unable to recreate this issue it's the posters who must provide more information.
On top of that this is a seperate issue than the one you are complaining about
and now Recuva Portable 1.41.537
crashes someone is doing something wrong way bad
This thread (and board) is about CCLeaner not recuva, they do not share code so it is a seperate issue.
Finally you've been warned once in this thread already, which you have no followed with 2 out of line posts)
so one last time I will warn you please curb your rudeness. Next you won't get a verbal warning, and you may have your posting ability temporaraly revoked.

Same problem as Veeshush in w2k:
3 settings cause the crash:
Checked Box Firefox/Mozilla: Internet History AND/OR Cookies AND/OR Compact Databases, when CLEANING only.
I can understand the anger of Magi, because Recuva 1.41.537 doesn't work in w2k too!!! CRASH on startup!!!
A very "remarkable coincidence" between two different "new versions" of the same house!!!
