Does this new version fully support Safari 4 beta?

Thanks MrG!

Just wondering if the 'Wipe free space' drive selection box is supposed to have this layout:



or it should be a dropdown menu, since as is it's quite uncomfortable to use

Thanks Piriform... I like the new changes (0-100% progress bar and wiping of disk free space). Keep it up!

Mine looks just like yours. Maybe in the next version, Piriform can make the scroll down box customizable so that users with more than 1-2 drives can make the height of the box larger. Just a suggestion.

Thanks MrG. for listening us

UPDATE: you guys should take a chance to read this: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=20631

What a terrific update MrG.
Must ask if the Free Space Wipe has any negative effect on files already on the drive? One cannot afford to lose data As a suggestion-it would be useful to include a message for new users about this/

Keep up the great work.

What does wiping disk free space actually do?

I have just updated the new version. I would like to know when I use the Startup section under Tools, what the difference is between Disable and Delete. I know it should be obvious, but what I want to do is stop so many things running in the background and slowing down my computer. So basically can I use this section for that and does Delete get rid of it from the computer. Which of course we dont want. And obviously as you can all see I know diddlesquat about the innards of computers, and would hate to delete something I shouldn't. Thanks for any help you can give me.

This section of the ccleaner documentation should answer you question kinty

I got a load of Windows errors after running the free space overwrite, posted HERE

Thank you so much hazelnut, and such a speedy reply. I have read it through and it explains it perfectly...I have bookmarked that page too.

The half visible options on the settings page you can fix yourself guys.

Just drag the bottom edge of CCleaner down a touch until it appears properly.



It retains the new dimensions.

I don't get the percentage progress bar.

What do you mean exactly? Can you post a screenshot?

The only differences I see in relation to the progress bar are that it completes in one line and doesn't repeat. I don't see a percentage number.

This is normal, there isn't a numbered percentage display, just one pass of the indicator now. 0 to 100%

I love this program but since I downloaded and installed the newest version it starts running then quits and closes on its own. I have removed and reinstalled it several times

Under options >advanced Keath, do you have ''close program after cleaning'' ticked?

You have to make the window larger to see that part of it (I'm sure that they'll fix it in the next version)

I just reloaded and made sure close program is not checked. Ran it and it closed out after 15 seconds.

Hi keath
Welcome to the forum

I'm not sure why is this happening to you, but try this:

Go to options -> Advanced and mark "Save all settings to INI file".
Then go to C:\Program Files\CCleaner and delete the INI file (the one that looks like a notepad)
You will loose all your CCleaner settings but you might be able to fix this.

Warning and pay attention:

Now, Ccleaner updates, aren´t compatibles with the Windows Me (Millenium).

You must use ccsetup 214 or antecedents.

I have noticed a massive speed increase from the previous version to this one ^^

And why not? I've used all versions of CC on my Win98SE without any problems. What errors are showing on WinME?

Mister, pay attention!

Windows Me is not windows 98... they are differents.
There is no error:

-Simply, the new software is not good enough-, I'am sorry to say.

Goodbye

LCD pay attention. WinME is a Win9x system. I've used CC when I had WinME installed and it works perfectly.

We are not speaking the same language...

"...I've used CC when I had WinME installed..."

Do you know the difference between the past and the present!!!?...

Please, forget me, go away, and be happy.

LCD

Yes, it used to work but it doesn't now.



And I'm asking why.

Keith, don't waste your time.

Superb software from piriform
Thanks piriform rocks

Welcome to the forums...and I agree completely!
