perhaps uninstall and then reinstall the 5 new again?

@benbxl,  what's the problem with those buttons?  are they greyed out and not 'clickable' ?

 

@hhumphrey, what OS?, what CC version? (v5 or v5.01)

 

do either of you use winapp2.ini or any other add-on to CC?

does it also happen in Safe Mode?

Backup now & backup often.

Try and see if this makes the buttons clickable:

 

Open CCleaner > Options > Advanced > tick "Save all settings to ini file". Close CC.

 

Go to My Computer > C > Program Files > CCleaner, and move the winapp.ini file somewhere else (desktop probably best)

 

Re-open CC. Are the buttons immediately clickable?

That's because the above given advice is incorrect, I believe they meant for you to move the ccleaner.ini file. Note, do not throw the file away as what he is proposing, while I think it a good idea, will remove all of your ccleaner preferences and choices.

If you keep the file, and this doesn't work, you can place the file back in the folder (overwriting the one it created)

If this does work we'll work on getting the good preferences back into ccleaner

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Ok, so next open both the ccleaner.ini file in the ccleaner folder (newly created when you started ccleaner after the file move) and the one you moved.

Copy/cut the section(s) from the old file for cookies to keep, any excludes/includes and paste them into the new .ini file.

 

Optional: After saving the new ini and throwing away the old you can uncheck save settings to ini and it will move them back to the registry

So a new ccleaner.ini file does not appear in the ccleaner folder. 

 

I then tried restarting my computer to see if a new ccleaner.ini file would appear.

 

It didn't and I tried running ccleaner again and it reverted to my original problem of the buttons grayed out and not being clickable?

 

Note after I restarted my pc and loaded ccleaner I went into the settings and the save settings to ini option was not ticked.

Hi benbxl,

 

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to reproduce.

 

Can you please let us know if you still having this problem?

 

Thanks

It sounds like you aren't running ccleaner with high enough administrator permission (UAC) to write in the folder Ccleaner is installed in. Please right click ccleaner and choose run as admin. Then attempt to save setting in ini

I am still having this issue.

 

I have attached the old ini file i.e. the one I moved and the new one which was created when I restarted my PC and went back into cclenaer and ticked the option to Save all settings to ini file.

 

I am not sure if this is of any use, but when both buttons are disabled I am also not able to scroll down the list of programs on the left hand side, it just continuelly shows the mouse cursor as busy when ever I hover over that part of the screen.

 

If I go onto the registry cleaner tab while the analyse and run cleaner buttons are disabled on the cleaner tab. I can click on the scan for issues but this just freezes and stays at 3% constantly

Hi hhumphrey,

 

Please add an empty file called "winapp1.ini" in the same folder as your CCleaner.exe installation.

 

This will override the embedded "winapp.ini" and cause the "Applications" tab to be empty. 

 

Let us know if buttons become enabled.

I added a file called winapp1.ini as you stated. CCleaner won't even load

 

I then added a file called ccleaner1.ini as I am not using the extension and ccleaner wouldn't load

 

I then went and added a empty ccleaner.ini file and ccleaner wouldn't load

Hi hhumphrey,

 

Please, remove "ccleaner1.ini" as it it not needed.

 

What happens when you also delete the empty "winapp1.ini"? 

 

Does CCleaner start correctly but still has disabled buttons?

 

If so, you can also try creating an empty "winsys1.ini". This will override the embedded "winsys.ini" and cause the "Windows" tab to be empty.

 

Let us know.

 

Thanks

I have a similar problem.  Unlike your situation, however, my "analyze" and run cleaner" buttons aren't grayed out--they're missing altogether.  That, of course, renders cc cleaner completely useless, as the program can't be run.

 

I've uninstalled and reinstalled cccleaner, to no avail.  Anyone know of a program similar to cc cleaner?  Because Piiform's version doesn't perform.  (Almost rhymes. doesn't it?)

memphisbelle11 what is your operating system?

 

Do you have any 'start programs' such as classic shell?

 

Any different Windows 'skin' you are using, or is everything the default?

 

Just as a test if you change your screen resolution do the buttons show then?
