Has anyone used CCleaner with 64 bit Vista? What has your experience been? The reveiws seem to be mixed.

Vista is new to me and I'm trying to set up a new machine with the utilities I need before loading any software.

Hi Diane,

I have not had any problems with CCleaner on the 64 bit Vista. I would recommend giving it a try to see how you like it.

The only problem I had with CCleaner is when I used it from the trashcan mode. It wanted to lock up. But if I run it by itself it works like a charm. But then thta was 4 installs of Vista ago before my computer was semi stable so it may work from the trashcan mode, i just haven't tried it.

Personally Diane, I feel very confident in ANYTHING that Shawn, on the Brink (lol) recommends . You read enough threads and you'll see that everyone trusts him and his knowledge.

Thanks to all for responding so quickly. I did the download, ran it and it seemed to work flawlessly. I'm glad I found this forum and will be checking it often.

Yeah but you are John Galt (probably a Neal Boortz listener) so I don't have to tell you anything lol. I just won't buy a copper mine from you. Looking at your profile, I read that book the first time when you were about 5........... I was in the 8th grade and have been warped ever since lol.

Isn't it funny how right she was though? 50 years later (or is it 60 now) and that book reads almost like a prophesy.......... A LONG WINDED prophesy though..........

hey depeder
i found out about ccleaner a few months ago and have reccommended it to everyone i know. Great program and really cleans all the unused crap. Awsome registry cleaner as welll.

Note: If you have saved passwords for the internet, there is a box you will i have to check off. I know i didnt and i thought it was a virus or something but it was just ccleaner.
