    I used to have the free version of regcleaner on my computer then it just quit working. So I unistalled and reinstalled it several times and from different sites, it still won't open. The hourglass just stay still. I still want a free version and I had always heard regcleaner was the safest. I have cCleaner on my computer, but was told not to use the registry cleaner in there - and they were emphatic.
    I have Window XP - any ideas. I originally downloaded from this site.

    Hi

    Which Regcleaner you installed? as one I thinking of only has a free version http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html its old and now unsupported but works ok.

    As for CCleaner its registry cleaner is fine these days and as safe as any other registry cleaner ( I and many others use CCleaner with no issues ) as it also prompts you to create a backup of what your deleting, its registry cleaner is not as deep or radical as many others so is pretty safe to use.

    The strange thing is, I have regcleaner on my laptop, it is a four year old machine, as is the one I am having trouble with and it is Windows XP Pro and regcleaner works fine.
    I was told DONT use cCleaner for registry, but ifyou say it is okay, I will go with it. Thanks
