Ah … so it found more errors that the freebie eh? Now all you need to do when you’ve used it is minimise it and it will go to a tiny little icon on your system tray and continue running in the background.
Open it by right clicking on the little icon and select “Open Registry Mechanic” and you get the start scanning screen … then let ‘er rip.
You should scan preferably every day – but 3 / 4 time a week will still remove loads of clutter from your registry.
Nice thing is that it seta a restore point before deleting stuff so you can revert your system if you don’t like what it removes.
Thanks PB, we took my pc to the repair shop over the weekend to try and sort out the problem with the Ipod but were just told that the hardware is not compatible due to my computer being 8 years old something to do with the usb ports being ones or twos not four and this being a common problem with the ipods??? Don’t know, didn’t understand, I just smiled politely (especially as they didnt charge us anything). So the conclusion is that we now have to use my work computer to sort out the ipod until we can afford a new computer.

I’ve tried several over the years Yoda and I’ve found that Registry Mechanic is one of the few that does exactly what it says on the tin.
Crap Cleaner seems to spend a lot of its resource cleaning stuff that you can clean anyway using the tools provided with Windows (i.e. cookie files and temporary internet files and so on).
Also, I’m always inherently suspicious of so-called “free” software. In general (but not always) if it’s any good, the writers usually charge for it.
Just to let you know PB I downloaded Registry Mechanic which found 440 errors on my computer and has fixed them all so that’s a start :!: . Bad news – ipod still not working :lol:

I’d love to assist you but I’m afraid I’m not up on I-pods.
For free registry scans – you can find numerous sites on the internet for this (Google them) but the hook is that to fix the issues they find, you usually need to purchase the software. The old adage that there is no such thing as a free lunch applies here.
An excellent registry scanner and fixer is “Registry Mechanic” from PC Tools – linky here >>> http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/ <<
The free time limited trial WILL remove some problems, but you need to purchase a license to remove them all. Frankly it is well worth it – I use it all the time and can personally reccomend it.
I’ve Gooogled “ubstor” and found the following: >>> http://www.file.net/process/usbstor.sys.html <<<
It may be helpful.
thanks for the reply PB xx
I will look into the Registry Mechanic I don’t mind paying as long as it works so thank you for recommending it, there were pages of free scans when I googled it and I got a tad confused. We are still battling with the Ipod and will look at the link you have posted and again thanks for taking the time to try and help xxx
p.s any good with washing machines :lol: :lol: :!: :?:

nooo….not the Radio one which is having a break. That’s for them showbizz types.
This is F3 Quiz-Room around 9.30ish on Friday nights, you just log in as normal and then watch out for who’s typing in CAPS.
It’s called the Golly Dutchboat so one devil picks the destination (last week – Tasmanian Sea), whoever comes last has to walk the plank (usually Diane), we sing a few shanties, drink generous tots of rum, then bicker pointlessly into the night.
Hence the Nawtycool posts on this thread.
: o )
Well helllllloo toy xxx ty for replying to my post, I will have to check my diary then and make sure that I’m around on a Friday night, but can’t do the next one as I’m being whisked away for a romantic weekend away so good luck for Friday and I will log in on a Friday night soon.

No milk, no fags, no wine and its Friday, Friday is wine night I never deviate! I managed to collar a neighbour stupid enough to brave the elements. I gave him a shopping list with extra money to buy himself some beer for being so obliging.
Satisfied my immediate needs would be met I took a walk about 9ish the silence and beauty was enthralling. Virgin snow rocks!
Anyone would think it had been snowing :lol:
