It "finds" many issues, "fixes" many issues (after I've saved a copy of the registry), but then when running "find" again, even without closing and re-opening the program, the same issues are all there. I run Zone Alarm, AVG anti-spy, SpyBot, Adaware, SpywareBlaster and maybe some of these besides the firewall and av program have something in the background running. Thanks.

Moderators rridgely Posted May 29, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2007 I don't use vista but someone else reported this as being caused by vista's UAC feature. You need to give CCleaner admin user rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got vista with my new laptop and don't know very well about its small glitches. But I am running CCleaner with admin account and in fact there is no other account created yet. Whats the fix here? Since the problem does not occur with winxp, I don't think it is related to firewall etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 30, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2007 Right click on the CCleaner icon and there should be something that says run as admin.. let me know if that makes sense. Sorry I cant give a better explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eureka, you've got it!!! Followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. Many thanks. I've noticed a lot of other people have had similar problems and hope they see your solution. I just got the laptop and am new to Vista. I thought I had set the thing up that anyone who turned the computer on (i.e. me) was automatically in the administration account and could do anything. That's the way I want it. I've noticed when altering some display settings, etc, a box has popped up saying I've started some process, do I want to continue because it may change a few things only an admin can do. Next thing on my menu is to work on getting logged on as an admin everytime I boot so I don't need to work around popup boxes. At any rate, thanks for the help on the CCleaner.

Moderators rridgely Posted May 31, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2007 Its a feature of vista to not run as an admin.(it reduces security vulnerabilities.) Look up something called User Account Control and you will find out more info on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get it fixed with the User Account Control as RRidgely recommended and didn't have to go the Tweak route. Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
