MrHappyGoLucky12 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have the latest version. It worked before. The option to "Run CCleaner when the computer starts" doesn't work. I check it, close out, and when I go back in, it's unchecked as if I never checked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted January 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2011 What OS version are you using? 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 Nergal Posted January 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2011 It sounds like you are not approving the UAC is this the case?

MrHappyGoLucky12 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 How do I approve the UAC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted January 27, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2011 Click yes in the UAC prompt when starting CCleaner (i.e. run ccleaner as admin which is the default for ccleaner). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control Often CCleaner will not start with the modern OS's (do to the need of the UAC acceptance), but that is not your issue here. Your issue, as far as I can read it, is that you are trying to save a setting and it won't take. This leads me to the thought that you are running the program without the proper needed permissions (to write to the registry, or if you are saving settings in INI, to write to the program files directory). UAC acceptence is required (as well) for both those actions. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

See attached screen shot at http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1424/clipboard1k.jpg . I don't get a UAC prompt when starting CCleaner. Does CCleaner have to be in the Start Up folder to run at start up? Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Have you tried uninstalling CCleaner and then re-installing it? Maybe save your settings to an INI file (Options->Advanced->Save all settings to INI file) and then running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted January 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2011 Did you turn off UAC Please remember that being an administrator user has NOTHING to do with what I am talking about. UAC is Operating System Best Practice and stops Malware from being able to effectivly mess with your settings. CCleaner not triggering UAC makes me think that you turned off UAC if so please turn it back on and test the issue.

I did disable UAC, but I did that the first day I got my computer and it's worked fine before. I see a new version is available, so I'll try uninstalling. Thanks.
