Jim B Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'm using a HP laptop with vista installed. I removed an application (AutoCAD LT) from the system. I then ran the registry scaner in CCleaner. It found a lot of autocad entries. I selected only them and I had them "fixed". I then ran regedit and searched for autocad. There are numerous entries still in the registry. Can someone please explain why this is? I want to reinstall autocad, but want to start with an absolutely clean slate. Thank's, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you use it you need to repeat the process a few times. However, CCleaner is designed to be fast and mild and most of all safe. AutoCad is a product that creates a lot of entries. It is also best to use some user or MVP users solution to cleaning out all those keys. In most cases this resolves the problem. I would go to their forum for advice and possibly some custom designed procedures. Good luck, davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
