jv16 Power Tools 1.3 Expired

[Bob Adkins]

Luckily RegSeeker is still free and is better in my opinion than JV.

Two thumbs up!!

I just installed the same version from my site and it too is expired

I replaced the executable with the one from version 1.3.0.195 that I
have archived and it seems to work fine. I don't know the nature of
the limitation, so I cannot be sure it won't do the same in, let's
say, a year. I was thus able to retain backups, profiles, data. If
you, or anyone, wants this version, tell me what I have to do.

jv16 was good, and replacing it will be a bit botheresome; but I'm
sure we can find other freeware tools out there that will do the job.

Easycleaner? http://www.toniarts.com/ecleane.htm

Version 1.3.0.195 does seem to be the last working free version, if a newer
working version can be found please post here.

Thanks; I'll give that a test run!

There was a thread here on 11/23/03 about EasyCleaner 2 being ridiculously
slow at some operations. The main thing that bugged me was the amount of
registry keys and values the EasyCleaner 2 adds. Per the thread, over 60
reg keys and 90 reg values are added, plus tons of files. RegSeeker doesn't
even require installation...just unzip to folder.

EasyCleaner 2 doesn't require installation either. Unzip this file:

Personally, I'm going to stick with jv16 Powertools 1.3.0.195 (vs.
1.3.0.196) available at:
http://spazioinwind.libero.it/puntocr/dwl/jv16pt_setup.exe &

Thanks for that, Jordan. Somehow I missed the *.zip, which is usually my
preference.

It's amazing how much crap is placed in the registry and on your hard drive
when using the "installer" version. Hard to believe the author could even
make the software function the same with just a zip distribution. But, he
did. Definitely avoid the "installer" version of this software. Some
installers do little more than direct files to a specified location, and I
don't mind those. This one is not one of those.

Still don't think I'll be using EasyCleaner, though.

See ya.

It is more aggressive than JV16 by far. I tried it several times after
numerous program install/uninstalls running JV first. RS found many
items JV did not mark each time.

So far, I've run RS and selected "all" and deleted them with no
problems at all.

I just ran Regcleraner and it found 10 invalid entries, almost all of
them files I had deleted from my temp directory. IK then ran Regseeker
and it found 670 entries! That is quite a massive discrepancy. I am a
bit nervous about deleting 670 entries. Most of them are things such as
"path doesn't exist", and that kind of thing. Are they safe to delete?

You can take your chances. I certainly wouldn't delete them all.

I don't any have problems deleting "path doesn't exist" with Regcleaner.
But 670 entries would make me quite nervous. Scanreg > Yes

I use regseeker and have never had a problem. It makes an undo file
in case there are problems.

That assumes you can get to it. If you can't fully boot to Windows
because the Registry is trashed, you'll have to replace the registry
from a backup. Regseeker doesn't *qualify* the entries it finds; you
have to proceed on faith.

As I said, I've never had a problem...in a year's worth of using it
about 3 times a week. Others may say differently, though I've not
seen any testimony in this regard.

dl'd and as I installed the program, from the above link, I got a (flash
screen) "This is a 30 day trial version"! May not be an exact quote, passed
by rather quickly...will have to wait and see. Meanwhile I'm moving to
RegSeeker as a primary utility~thankyou.

Yes, expired on both my machines. Funny part was, even on the 31st, it would
find a whole bunch of items but wouldn't delete them. It would just sit
there. Anyway, I had version 1.1.0.154 archived, installed it, and it runs
fine. I really can't see where the 1.3 version had any extra functionality.

jv16 Power Tools 1.3 (the last freeware version) has expired on my machine
as of 1/1/2004. I get a message that I am using a very old version and need
to go www.jv16.org for a newer (shareware) version. Unless this is a
"feature" unique to my machine, Jouni Vuorio can bite me! ;-)

I got the same problem. To solve i uninstalled jv16 1.3 and i
re-installed an older freeware version (jv16 Power Tools 1.2)... then
you should not have the message... Hope this help. happy new year...

I am running RegCleaner once or twice a week and I have never had a problem either since I
started using it about 9 months ago.
