Urko Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I,was very angry seeing such beautiful program,wrestling with a new Ugly Interface and the fact that this program freezes (analyze,clean Up) and this on Windows XP © Computers. You most take in account that still more the 1/3 of the world population is using XP. I,hope sincerelery that this can be cured. TIA Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobur Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 There are certainly problems with XP SP3 - since updating to v5 analysis and cleaning is much slower and stutters and stops occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urko Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 I,Received an email from Piriform,asking to set (anny languages,in my case dutch,to English, and the problem was resolved. Qoute from the email:" Is your version of CCleaner in French? If so, please can you change the language to English and see if this works? This is an issue with the latest version of CCleaner which we are working on fixing. Regards Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 CCleaner 5.0 works fine on all my XP-SP3 and Windows 7 systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobur Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I find the following : Windows 7 - CCleaner v5 Analysis and cleaning fast - almost instantaneous Win XP SP3 - CCleaner v5 - Analysis and cleaning slow and intermittent - for instance analysis spends ages on Internet Explorer Cookies - even when there are none.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2014 Win XP SP3 - CCleaner v5 - Analysis and cleaning slow and intermittent - for instance analysis spends ages on Internet Explorer Cookies - even when there are none. Try cleaning Internet Explorer using it's Internet Properties->General (tab)->Browsing History cleaners that are built into it, reboot your computer, and then try CCleaner. No guarantee that will correct the issue, however it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobur Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Try cleaning Internet Explorer using it's Internet Properties->General (tab)->Browsing History cleaners that are built into it, reboot your computer, and then try CCleaner. No guarantee that will correct the issue, however it's worth a try. Tried this - makes no difference. The problems only began after update to v5 - so it would seem that something about this updated version is the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 See how CCleaner behaves on your XP system when run in Safe Mode. System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobur Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tried everything - CCleaner 5 is clunky and slow on XP - previous version was smooth and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 If you overwrite with more than 1 pass it slows things down . . . could that be the issue? FYI . . . On win xp sp3, with Avast & SpywareBlaster, fairly fast computer, 6 or 8 years old. Just installed CCleaner ver 5.01.5075. Checked most of the boxes to clean. Analysis took 2.167 sec, showed 7.73 gb to clean. Ran CCleaner with these options: secure deletion, simple overwrite 1 pass, wipe cluster tips, wipe alternate data streams, Operation required 171.5 sec, 7.73 gb removed. So, CCleaner is actually fairly fast here. In addition to the "normal" files to clean, there were 2,184 acronis log files, and in the recycle bin were all the "lang" files from several apps. So, many individual small files. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted December 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2014 So, many individual small files. Small/tiny files (I'm referring to hundreds or even thousands of them) take longer to clean for secure deletion tools versus say just one big file - of course also depending upon the size of a big file.

login123 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yes, true. Each file must be treated separately. Thats why I put all those in the recycle bin, to give CCleaner a bit longer workout. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.
