Izzy Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm a fairly new CCleaner user. On the Windows Tab of the CCleaner, there is a check-box for "Windows Error Reporting". If I select that box, will I also be deleting my computer's Event Logs? I rely on those for tracking problems. I have a Windows Vista 32-bit Home Basic. Thanks!

metalj Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 No, as far as I know. "Windows Error Reporting" cleans the log files created by Error Reports. CCleaner doesn't clean Event logs. As you said, those are important. Here's some more info. Piriform Software User Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithuk Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Welcome to Piriform Izzy. I'm a fairly new CCleaner user. On the Windows Tab of the CCleaner, there is a check-box for "Windows Error Reporting".

I don't have a check-box for "Windows Error Reporting" in the Windows tab. Well CC has an option to clean all Windows log files. There aren't that important they just report something has been done. Thats files with a log extension. Under System - Windows Log Files just remove the tick and try it again.

metalj Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I don't have a check-box for "Windows Error Reporting" in the Windows tab. It's vista only. Here. Piriform Software User Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's vista only. Here. Thank you, MetalJ - the link is very helpful! Windows Error Reporting - (Vista only) Whenever a program crashes, Windows saves details of the crash to report back to Microsoft. This option will clean all the error reports from your system." I will leave the box unticked. Sometimes I will get a "fix" back from Microsoft immediately, on a crash that automatically reports to them. Often, however, there is no fix available at the time, but Microsoft periodically revisits old crashes to see if a new fix has been created to solve the problem.
