after a registry scan there are loads of "missing typelib reference".Do "i fix issues"or leave it all alone.

Come on, I can't call you stupid, but welcome to Piriform all the same. :)

The Type Lib references are fine to delete as long as you follow the CCleaner dialogue and make a backup before you do so.

Any registry cleaning has it's inherent risks, which is why a backup is so important.

You should preferably make regular backups of your registry with a program called ERUNT. A life saver in many situations.

This might also help:

Restoring Issues Backup

Go to the folder where your Issues backup is located (default location is My Documents). The backup file will be something like this cc_20080818_230043. cc (CCleaner) 2008, 08, 18 (Year, Month, Day) 2300, 43 (Time/24 hour clock, Seconds). Right click on the file and click on Merge, you will be asked if you would like to add the information or not.
