RegCleanr and Hyperthreads

[Guest]

Anybody know why Hperthreading must be diabled bebore RegCleanr
(Jouni Vuorio version) will launch??

It's a handy program but a pain to have to boot up. go into bios to disable
Hyperthreads, to be able to run this tool.

This doesn't happen for me, try reinstalling regcleaner.

I can't answer your question, but I strongly recommend *against* the routine
use of registry cleaners. Routine cleaning of the registry isn't needed and
is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and don't use a registry cleaner.
Despite what many people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning
software try to convince you of, having
unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit it may
have.

uh, thanks for your input. Maybe you have a better way of taking stuff off
the
Start up list etc. than this program provides or other entries. This
program
is abit better than manually using Regedit.

two of my favorites are
eusing registry cleaner &
autoruns from microsoft.com
and regclean 4.3.

i'm not in tune to hyperthreading
technology, so i cannot provide
an answer involving this feature.

however, a couple of years ago, i had a friendly email chat with journi vuorio about his earlier registry cleaner.

he is a genius and humble and can provide an answer about your hypert'g and his program.

MSConfig works fine, as do many of the third-party replacements to do that.
No need to use Regedit or a registry cleaner.

for a startup list tool, you should try the Startup Control Panel:

http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml

an oldie but goodie.

I agree w/ the others, using a regcleaner, any regcleaner, is not a good
idea. I have never seen one that did not offer to clean things that it
really shouldn't. _IF_ you carefully review what it offers to "clean" and
only approve things that you truely understand then you may be ok, but to
just accept everything it offers up is asking for trouble. And to expect
it to make a big difference in performance or otherwise is unrealistic.
At best they just remove leftover junk that is doing no real harm. At
worst they break things, which usually doesn't become apparent for days or
weeks, when it's too late to correlate the "new" problem back to the reg
cleaning.

Best Motto:

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Hey frodo,
Thanks for the input on the startup panel.

Looks like I got several opinions from people that really
have no idea whet Jouni's program does.
It is a tool that can be helpful or help you dig your last hole.
Bit it doesn't look like anyone has any idea the answer to
why it doesn't work with hyperthreading enabled.

Well thanks for your input

I like using RegCleaner for those rare times that Add/Remove doesn't
remove everything it should. True, most of the time, stray registry
entries don't affect the system. But sometimes they do. And true, this
could be done using regedit, but RegCleaner is a much better and faster
way of accomplishing this.

I doubt that people ever use RegCleaner for "routine registry cleaning."

That said, I also discourage people from using run-of-the-mill registry
cleaners; they can certainly do more damage than good. But RegCleaner
ain't one of them.

As I said in my other post "this doesn't happen to me"

I use regcleaner 4.3 and have hyperthreading enabled and it works just
fine........no problems here
did you try uninstalling>rebooting then reinstalling as suggested?
