• The CCleaner registry cleaner reports "invalid or empty the file class."

  Original title: when using CCleaner (cleaning the registry), the only problem that arises is; 'Class file invalid or empty', how can I solve this problem?

  After using CCleaner, registry cleaner, CCleaner is displayed the following problem;

  Problem: Invalid or empty the file class

  Data:.tif\openWithProgids\MSPaper.Document

  Registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\fileExts\.tif\OpenWithProgids

  How can I solve this problem once and for all?

  When I use 'Registry Cleaner' "CCleaner" from the program for "chose to solve problems", it doesn't permanently solves the problem, as whenever I run the CCleaner program at a later date, it is here once again!

  I have the 32-bit version of Windows XP service pack 3 and Windows Explorer 8, is installed on this desktop computer.

  Please, help me to solve this problem.

  Thank you for any help you can give me!

  The problem with registry cleaners in general is that they often report "of the problems' when there is no problem.  If the user actually deletes an entry from the registry in response to such a notice, then it could well be a problem.

  Just because you have not known - again - a problem with the Ccleaner registry cleaning tool does not mean that you won't.  Because the 'cleansing' of the registry has not been shown to have an effect on the performance of the system, the risk of deleting something important makes use of stupid registry cleaners.  Read the two links in my previous post.

  As I wrote originally, the 'problem' reported by Ccleaner is probably due to his inability to properly manage the data type "REG_NONE" in the registry key.

  The way to fix this is to ignore and stop using Ccleaner registry that tells you that there is a 'problem '.

• Disk defragmentation repeated after you install a Registry Cleaner program.

  Original title: Disk Defragmenter

  Hello.

  I use Windows XP Prof and IE 8.

  "After" install a Registry Cleaner program, a disk defragmentation task was executed, and he indicated that the volume needs to be defragmented. Subsequently, the task of disk defragmentation was performed again and he said that 'always' volume must be defragmented even if there is nothing to defragment (no red line showing).

  'Before' installing the program Registry Cleaner, disk defragmentation task was performed and she would declare that the volume needs to be defragmented. Subsequently, the task of disk defragmentation was performed again and he said that the volume was already defragmented (no red line showing).

  Why the registry cleaner would lead the program Defragmenter to 'think' that he needs to defragment even after this has been done (and no red line showing)?

  Thanks in advance.

  I will not bore to 'clear all' regularly because I can see the red error icon and the yellow warning icon clearly by scroll.

  Bottom line: Defrag works so I will continue to "analyze" and defragment every day when there are red lines in the graph, but not worthwhile to defragment a second time, unless the red lines still appear.

  Thank you 'a lot' to work on this issue with me - It is much appreciated.

• Identify and purge the duplicate files

  I'm running out of storage space. When I look at My Documents & Settings it seems that there is a lot of duplicates and files. Is there a process to identify duplicate files and purge them in Window XP?

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/reviews/AllDup/AllDup.html

  AllDup allows you to find the files duplicated on one or several folders or drives. You can choose to match files by size, date, attributes and content comparison byte by byte and also various settings to exclude certain file types or the search folders. AllDup then analyze selected records and produce a list of all files duplicate was found. The list is organized into groups, which makes it easy to manage results and process the files. You can manually select the files that you consider to be duplicates, or you can use the options of Intelligent selection that allows you to automatically select the files based on their date or folder. Duplicate files can be processed in different ways, you can choose to delete, move or copy them to a different folder or rename them in their current location. Other features include export search results, customized search profiles, a built-in file extract, ID3 tags support and more.

  Auslogics Duplicate File Finder helps you to find duplicate files that are likely to be scattered all over your hard drive. The program can compare files based on size, date, content and name. You can select several folders (with Sub-folders) or an entire drive to analyse, specify the methods used to determine the files double and then view the results list and delete files that you no longer need.

• How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?

  How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
  I uninstalled Nero 8 on my system (Windows Vista Edition home premium, 64-bit dell 1737 studio system); but several Nero files are always stuck in my registry. How can I remove them without destabilizing the system? Thank you.

  Yes, Nero is a software that I hate. I liked Nero until 6 version, I think, but after the Version 8 and 9, it was pathetic.

  2 years ago I had uninstalled a lot of software and there were many many registry entries obsolete - when a search I found that a member of a forum on the Web recommend CCleaner.

  Used from 2 years - each time without making registry backups. He never did wrong with my two PC - Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 (previously Windows 7 RTM).

  The registry cleaner is fantastic.

  In which case you can try it, here's the download link.

  WARNING: Installation be sure to uncheck the installation of Google Chrome options.

  CCleaner automatically prompts you to create backups of registry before she cleans up the registry. The choice is totally yours.

• Cannot remove sunbelt software program Files.It is deleted from the registry and ADD and remove the windows xp program

  Windows xp sp 3 home

  I tried everything to fix this. Even Microsoft Fix It can not remove this file. In Program Files, I right-click a message and Sunbelt Software (SBAMSvc.exe - VIPRE antivirus) wrote:

  Cannot delete: the directory is not empty.

  When I removed my PC Vipre I fallow the steps of the company. It is a business that needs to protect us, but for greed, it becomes a VIRUS.

  Hello

  I suggest you to download Microsoft Safety Scanner, scan your computer for viruses and malware then check how it works.

  You can download Microsoft Safety Scanner from the link "scan to Microsoft Security.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• What is the easiest to remove the "double" (type programs not duplicate file finder)?

  What is the easier, more realistic (programs type not duplicate file finder) to delete files 'duplicate '?

  Moved from Internet Explorer (unknown/other)

  Original title: NOT a Finder double file

  Well a double-file-finder is the only realistic way.

  If you don't want to use software to make life easier for you, you could do it the hard way: drag - move all files in the same folder.  If both have the same name, the system will offer to combine by crushing with the other so alone is the surplus.

  Of course, that counts only if the names are the same.  If you don't want to use software to facilitate your work, there will be a lot of work.

• is a registry cleaner program a good investment for a slow computer?

  Hello.

  My computer is slow and late, most of the time when I go on facebook the freez the computer for 10-15 seconds, then the page comes on. The more problems I have on facebook is when I go to the games (the game will load completely and before it begins, it closes and recharge again.) Sometimes it's just the game freez and I click on "Home" to leave the game and I have to return the game to continue playing). Now, the problem is not only on Facebook, I use it as an example. I searched on google and I want to know if a registry cleaner might help. Some websites you says it's good, some sites say it's a scam most registers are useless. I'm running on Windows Vista business and I have Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2013, and I have my computer, run a defrag every week. If I need a registry, I saw a couple of sites for this and the other says it's best 'RegClean Pro' and another said 'RegZooka.  Also is there a Web site that is 'kosher' and reliable software. There are SO many scams.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  Yves.

  Absolutely not. Most are scams.

  In any case, those who are not is dangerous. There is no central reference to the registry. Each program or driver, including Windows, it uses as it sees fit. Recommended by microsoft parts are specified by a particular product with no coordination team. Noone has knowledge of a deep understanding of the tens of thousands of programs.

  The unused parts of the registry do not affect the registry.

• Registry Cleaner deleted files needed to run Vista

  original title: Registry Cleaner Messed Up Vista!

  Well, I ran a registry cleaner on my Vista computer. Now, it has removed the elements of my system I guess it shouldn't have. I can't do anything. I try the system restore, but it doesn't have the necessary files for it or something. It does not connect to the internet. When I try to reinstall vista it says also the information on disk is not found. So I'm really worried now. Can someone help me please!

  And now you know why the registry cleaners are bad. If the program has an undo feature, use it. If it is too late for that, back up your data and do a restore clean factory/install of Windows. If you tried to do a factory restore (if that's what you mean by "try to reinstall vista [translation]... the information on disk is not found") and it fails, the registry cleaner probably destroyed the original hard disk image. Communicate with technical support of computer mftr. and the purchase of recovery disks. This is normally not very expensive. And do not use Registry cleaners/optimizers once again.

• Why don't I have as many files XP update [start / Control Panel / Add or remove programs / currently installed programs and updates]

  Trying to clean up the hard drive, among other things, I found the following in files

  XP [start /control Control Panel / Add or remove programs / currently installed programs and updates]

  22 updates for ms office 2003 dating from 22/01/2007.

  8 updates for the 2007 office system compatibility pack that goes back to the 10/02/2010

  190 updates for Windows XP, which dates back to the 29/06/2006

  6 updates for windows xp media center edition 2005, which dates back to the 29/06/2006

  Are all these necessary, and if not, how can I do to clean them?

  Thank you.

  Hi Renee-me,

  I recommend that you do not uninstall the updates that are installed on your computer.

  Windows Update makes the secure PC and helps run smoothly.

  For more information, refer to this link: Windows Update

  We suggest to delete the Windows updates only in troubleshooting an issue that may have been caused by an update. Refer to KB 310312 for more information on how to use the disk cleanup to free up space on the hard disk.

  Hope the helps of information.

• Registry files have been deleted via a Norton 360 3.0 registry clean up - can't get an ip address from the router

  I'm running Vista Ultimate, -connection (Ethernet) with Verizon FIOS I ran a Norton registry clean and foolishly trust what he says to remove.

  At first, all of my USB cards have been screwed up (noted in the Device Manager with exclamation next to each one points)
  I did a system restore and that corrects this problem, but now I'm having a problem with my network card.
  , All diagnostic tests, etc. show that the material is very good. My router is also fine the problem is that windows can't get an IP address from the router and then assigns his own
  (a # 169 instead of a # 192)
  In the network connection properties, it says that the device is functioning correctly, and the driver is up-to-date.
  'Connection speed' tab: a window of diagnosstics is: I ran testto test adapters connect to connect to the network.
  Results: connection Test
  Test details:

  I have "this card is configured to obtain an IP address automatically. No DHCP server is present on the network. Windows selected an IP address by using the alternative private IP addressing. »

  X "Ping 0.0.0.0 Gateway: failure.
  !  "No DNS server is available for this connection.
  ! "No WINS server is available for this computer.

  In this same window of diagnostics under the "LinksTab".
  Link current test status: (what is determine the current connection speed of the adapter and link partner)
  Results:
  ! The adapter is configured to negotiate the speed with the link partner, but 1000 Mbps was chosen as one of the possible speeds.

  The best link options-results of the speed test:
  ! Could not detect way reliable speed and duplex settings. Possible speed/duplex settings are 100 Mbps Full Duplex and Half Duplex 100.
  (Note that these link tests are online and I can't online)

  Also in the Diagnostics window-under the 'Cable' link cable - past-polarity is normal.
  Depending on the tab is the Hardware tab
  Hardware diagnostics check for I/O conflicts...
  Results: all the tests:

  I also went in the prompt type in IPCONFIG... c which shows:

  Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0

  I also have a sort of ping command here-cant remember the command, but the results were in the CBS... I didn't know how to reach. He however escape from something on the registry files.

  I went throughD-Link Tech router (router) support is good, Fios Tech support everything set up right, - Norton support(Norton denies that the files were not to be touched-although their report shows these registry files were deleted)-Dell Tech support because my warranty missed 3 weeks ago - although I still have the "your Tech Support team until 2013 - which is valid only if you have a hardware warranty-made no sense sold me the car without. the engine - directed the FTC to bring a complaint about it - after I get this fixed number.

  I hope someone can help... by the way I get perfectly in line with my laptop - I know this isn't my router. I'm sure it's due to some registry files being moved-(j'ai eu deles de messages d'erreur indiquant que les fichiers de Registre ont été endommagées ou manquantes) what do I do now? No system restore to restore this part of the register - I also installed the drivers from the dell drivers and Utilities disc - but maybe I've done that correctly? I put the disc - extract files-(he says they have been unpacked) was a new step for me to do after that? Help, please!
  Thank you!

  Hello
   
  We recommend that you install the router (see its manual) and the pilot of NIC once more and check the difference. In the first post, you mentioned that you decompressed or extracted files. Once the files are extracted, you will be asked to install the driver. However if you do not receive any prompts for the driver, then you will need to locate the destination folder where the files are checked to find the configuration file.
  
  Open the destination folder where the files are extracted and run the Setup file to complete the installation.
   
  To download and install the latest network card driver, visit the site Web of the manufacturer of the device or system.
   
  For more information on downloading and installing the drivers, visit this link:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/the-hunt-for-drivers-how-to-find-Windows-Vista-drivers-for-all-your-hardware
   
  I hope this helps.
  Kind regards
