reformed_fanboy Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Following DjLizard's help in this topic http://forum.CCleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=844 he has asked me to post about this here, so here I am. Not sure what info you need so if you need more please do tell me what you require. Basically after running CCleaner and clearing out everything including the registry issues I could no longer access my Yahoo emails using Firefox. After signing in I just got a completely blank, white screen. Now with DjLizard's help I can do this although the page layout is incomplete. Hope this helps and please do ask for any further information that may assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators TwistedMetal Posted April 7, 2005 Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have had this problem before, but CCleaner did not cause the problem. It was just yahoo's server.

DjLizard Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 We're able to actually cause the problem using CCleaner. Right now, on this computer (at my workplace) I can cause CCleaner's own forums to appear screwed up (if I allow CCleaner to clean Firefox's cache). Same thing for me at home, and several of my customer machines.

Same thing for me at home, and several of my customer machines. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Simple solution: run CCleaner twice. I've had this problem before with Firefox and CCleaner. All you have to do is run CCleaner twice, ie., press clean, then press clean again, then again just to be sure . It should work after you do that.

Admin MrG Posted April 8, 2005 Admin Share Posted April 8, 2005 This error occurs if you have Firefox running at the same time you run CCleaner. As it still thinks some of the temporary files still exist. I'm looking into a work-around for it.

DjLizard Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hmm. I see... Didn't think of it this way, but I'm using Firefox preloader, which keeps it loaded even when it's not open.. so that explains a lot.

The only *sure* workaround is to go into FireFox Options->Privacy and manually clear the cache. Then the Yahoo mail page reappear properly. Pretty annoying--as I use FireFox extensively now on all my PC's. Hope the fix comes out real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Java is not Javascript is not a GIF is not a Flash animation <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unfortunately, the manual cache cleaning is the only solution for me personally because of the following: 1. I need to run CCleaner in an automated/unattended fashion. Currently I set up a Windows scheduled task that is executed every night on all my PCs. 2. I need to keep all the FireFox browser windows open without interruption at all times as I have lots of work tied to the tabs in the windows that I don't want to close. The FireFox tabs feature is what really caused me to switch browser as I can have many tabs accessible without cluttering the desktop. Closing the browser windows means I will lose all my work.

I tried to reconnect 3 or 4 times, kept getting the same error message, one I'd never seen before. I wish I'd written it down, but I was in a bit of a panic. I was prepared for Firefox to get messed up, had backed up profile and saved a copy of the setup file so I could reinstall the browser easily. I was totally dumbfounded when this happened.

Greenknight Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well, I tried it 3 more times, and I was not able to reproduce the problem with the modem. The problem of missing graphics was consistently reproduced, however. It didn't just affect the site I was connected to when I ran CCleaner (this one) either. Running it again after disconnecting did correct the problem. Cleaning again while still connected didn't help. So it seems my inability to dial up after my first test was a fluke, or a coincidence. I've been told by a couple of users that they run CCleaner while online, with no problems. So it doesn't affect all systems, is easily reversable, basically not much of a problem. Of course, I didn't try running the "Issues" scan while online, I'll leave that to somebody braver (or stupider) than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphirer Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Greenknight I'm glad you solved your problem... I have pretty much the same problem as you... however, it turns out that just running it several times fixes the problem... we should make a topic thens sticky it....
