Guest fathermark Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Every time I do a scan for Issues, I get the same 4 ActiveX/Com registry keys. Two of them are associated with "ComPlusMetaDataMcCorHost and two are associated with Symwriter. Using Regedit, I cannot delete them and CCleaner is unable to get rid of it. Can anyone help? ~Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 25, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2005 Make sure you're logged on as an Administrator! If you're logged on with limited-user privileges CCleaner won't be able to remove what it finds under the Issues button in the system registry. As a safety standpoint I'd recommend letting CCleaner deal with the invalid registry data. --- Edit: Forgot to mention: Keep running the Issues scanner until it no longer finds any invalid data.

When I ran the Issues Scan it found 1262 invalid references and would not clean ANY after repeated attempts. Logging back onto my own name, I still find the same 4 ACTIVE/X registry keys and nothing seems to be able to remove them. Any other suggestions?

Moderators Andavari Posted October 27, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2005 Any other suggestions? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, since you said you were logged on as the Admin I don't understand why it wouldn't remove the invalid data. Someone else had a problem with issues not being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I've never had a problem at all, ts a very strange situation... I would boot up in safe mode, make sure you are admin, and then try. But if that doesn't work, well, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
