yes, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted etc....you know the drill!!!

Thanks for that, I'll try that tomorrow when I'm not as tired! Can I just ask, I know where to find my back up file but I'm not sure how to I view a list of my current registry files on the computer so that I can cross check? I'll await your instructions before I dabble anymore!

Bump! I still need some help!

When I restored the registry files from the back up, is there a way I can check that the restore worked properly and that all the files are back as they should be?

Sorry, thats one of the things I've tried, I can't list them all cos I spent all day trying all different things, I can't even remember most of them...! I unticked that and ran ccleaner again but I think the damage was done by then?

Hi, Please be gentle with me I'm a newbie and desperate for some help! I used ccleaner to try and speed my computer up a bit, looked around the forums and found this to be highly recommended..... I followed all the instructions....backed up my registry files. After running ccleaner I found I couldn't play some games that require flash player so I went to my back up and restored the files (eventually....as I had to sort out the file association problem first that I've seen discussed on here previously) The games still won't work, I've uninstalled flash player, reinstalled it, restarted my computer umpteen times, ran system restore twice....nothing is making any difference. The games site I use doesn't detect the flash player even though it is installed...I have tried other things like checking my internet options to make sure flash was enabled, any ideas? I don't know much about computers but I can manage with easy instructions !!! Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I don't know what to do next
