CCleaner starts and instantly terminates

[ShowStopper]

Hi,

I've been using several previous versions of CCleaner with no problem, but starting a few days ago when I start CCleaner I get the CCleaner window for about a second, and then it disappears, the application terminates. I didn't install a new version nor change any settings. A clean reinstall after the appearance of the problem didn't help either.

Any suggestions? Has anyone encountered such a problem?

Thanks,

In CCleaner options - advanced is there a tick in 'close CCleaner after cleaning'?

Hey Bud,

Where are you?What happened?

Been waiting to hear back from you.

I had one other thought about your problem.Had to go back and dig up your post again.

Anyhow,UNTICK the Automatically check for updates to CCleaner option at Options > Settings.

Sometimes this causes problems if there are Internet connect problems,browser bugs etc.

Let us know what is happening.

Good Luck,
