I have heard good and bad reviews.
Not very fond of that sort of programs myself.
I like to do my own cleaning, so I know who to blame when something goes missing.

But as long as you make backups it should be fine.

There are lots of other programs for that, but most of them are fairly expensive.

I use Acronis True Image myself, but I was referring to the backups for CCleaner.

At the CCleaner main window, select Issues and press the Check for Issues button. After the scan, press Fix selected issues, and a dialog box should appear asking if you want to back up your files. Click on "YES", and then save the backup .reg file.

Bugger. :blink:

I'm so going to regret this. :whistling:
  • Please download StartupList to your desktop.
  • Double click the startuplist.zip to extract the files inside.
  • When the new window opens, please double click on StartupList.exe
  • A window will open that will begin listing all of the startups with icons and text. In the lower left hand corner, it will show the status. When it says "ready" in the bottom left corner, it has finished running.
  • At the top of the window, click File>Save As and save startuplist.txt to your desktop.
  • Close startuplist.exe window
  • Attach the copy of startuplist.txt to your next reply. It will be too big to fit in one post.

Step 1

Copy the part in bold below into notepad and save it as Appid.reg
Set Filetype to "all files"

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{32683183-48a0-441b-a342-7c2a440a9478}]
@="Media Band"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{32683183-48a0-441b-a342-7c2a440a9478}\InProcServer32]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,62,00,72,00,\
6f,00,77,00,73,00,65,00,75,00,69,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00

Doubleclick that file and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.

Step 2

Only if Step 1 doesn't work. Change XP to classic shell and let me know if that stops the crashing.

Step 3

Try this if the first two don't work.
Do the errors also happen when BitTorrent is not running?

Step 2 also didn't work. But computer performence is a little better.

Bittorrent starts when i start my copmuter. If you mean that is it actually connected to the internet, than i get the error even when i have my internet turned off.

No. I mean when BitTorrent is running.
There must be a way to shut it down for a while and try.

Nothing wrong with asking questions. :whistling:

If you fix:
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BitComet] "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\SOFTWARE\BitLord\BitLord.exe"
with HijackThis then it will not start automatically the next time you boot your computer.
That is all that fixing it will do. It will not remove any files or damage the program.
It just makes that you have to start it manually when you want to turn it on.
