enthusiast_385 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi all. How would you rate CCleaner's built-in registry cleaner? Choose: 1. Safe. No need to check the results. 2. Enouph safe, but the results still must be analized. 3. Moderately Safe... 4. Crashed all my home PCs (lol). Also, a few words about its accuracy and efficiency. Thx...

ident Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 5. safe as registry cleaning can be deemed safe. Always check what your deleting. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted December 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2009 5. (given that 5 is much like 2 in your list then given only your choices 2 but 5 is my answer (see my signature) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators DennisD Posted December 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2009 Most important, take note of the CCleaner dialogue and make the backup of the entries CCleaner is gonna remove. I've ran CCleaner with all "Issues" checked for 3 years and never had a problem, but I still make a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningstar Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi guys, as a professional lama, I have "cleaned" the registry (using CCleaner) without any knowledge of what I deleted. The system obviously crashed and won't start. I know I have done something really stupid and I am not proud of it. But I hope someone could help. I've done a registry backup but I cannot log-in (not even in the safe-mode) to use it. My XP Home edition just freezes on the boot screen any doesn't go any further. Any ideas what to do to save the current sys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted December 24, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2009 Which bit does it freeze at in the screenshots here http://bertk.mvps.org/html/safemode.html Have you tried Last known Good Configuration?

Morningstar Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Which bit does it freeze at in the screenshots here http://bertk.mvps.org/html/safemode.html Have you tried Last known Good Configuration? I cannot get further than here in "normal" mode: And no further than here in "safe" mode: Last known good configuration had the same result as starting in both "normal" and "safe" mode. PC goes to windows boot screen and then restarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
