Solve : Blank gray screen?

Answer»

While on the internet, this frequently begins to happen. My web page goes all gray on my screen, except for about 1/2 inch on top with the web site heading. I cant refresh, F5, or anything. There are no buttons available to do anything, just blank gray screen. My only choice is to just close the screen and open up Firefox again.

Does anyone have any ideas on what this is?

I have backed up my stuff in case its crashing. I have run all of my anti virus stuff twice. I have defragged also.

I have the new Firefox and Vista.
Does it happen with other browsers? I would have to say yes. My home browser is set to http://www.isp.netscape.com/ But I do use Yahoo, and GOOGLE quite often.No. Not your home page.

What happens with Internet Explorer? This program:
Ewwwwwwww....

Solve : Unknow files on my computer ($$DeleteME.)?

Answer»

Hi,

Does any one know what are these files and can I delete them?

Thanks



Your call - take your pick - see here.



Ok,
I deleted them.

http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/7900/movieoe.mp4A brave action. I WOULD have MOVEed them all to a new folder and left them for about a month before deleting if I didn't get a "file not found" ERROR in that time.

As I said - your call.

It would help if you advised your OS when you post, or amend your profile to include the OS details. Thanks.

Solve : Email Attachments not received?

Answer»

I am hoping somebody can help.

I send a lot of emails generated from EXCEL using VBA via Lotus notes which attach a
xls file ZIPPED to a lot of different companies. I have found that ANYBODY
who has Outlook is not RECEIVING the attachement. The VBA code I use attaches
the file to the email below what appears to be a page break. The text in the
email is RECEIVED and if I resend the email and attach the file using the
paper clip there is no problem at the other end. Can anybody advise why this
is happening and if there is a way around this.

Solve : Adobe Reader 8?

Answer»

I have a simple question which I could not find an answer for in the Adobe Reader help section. How do I increase the text size when I print out a pdf file? The print is always super small and hard to read! I do not like to read from my computer screen.
Thanks,
JohnAre you printing on 8 1/2 x 11 paper? And, the pages print as displayed on your computer screen, right? Keep in mind you can't simply manipulate the content of PDF's like you could manipulate text from a WORD file. Once a PDF has been created, the layout REMAINS rigid. So, I don't know of a way to do what you want to do.

Quote

The print is always super small and hard to read!
Are you referring to all PDF files or just certain ones? You can use SOFTWARE such as the PDF editor like (Nitro PDF Professional's ) or convert from PDF

Solve : Lost thumb drive documents?

Answer»

OK, I THINK Will Rogers said, "Everyone is ignorant about something." Well, I'm ignorant about computers and admit it. But I NEED help.

I am retired, but before I left work, with assistance, I transferred much of my personal word documents onto a thumb drive?? I think that is what it is called. It says USB 2.0 and smaller letters read 8 GB.

For a time, once I inserted the thumb drive when I clicked "Start" all of my document titles came up in the margin for me to select from. But, recently I get the various storage options, like floppy disc, etc. My removable storage ICON also shows up, but when I click it I only get a partial list of documents. The others have disappeared and I don't know how to retrieve them. Can ANYONE help me find them? http://www.majorgeeks.com/Avira_UnErase_d5284.html


It seems like the files were accidentally deleted. As long as you haven't copied any files to the thumb drive since the files disappeared, you might be in luck.. What really HAPPENS when files are deleted is, the pointers that point to the location of the files in memory on the thumb drive are deleted, but the files are still there. If Windows doesn't see the pointers it determines that the space is available and writes over the files that you are trying to rescue.

Use the link and download Avira Unerase. Install it, run it...Select what drive to want to save files from. Be sure you know what drive letter your thumb drive is using.. Click OK.. The program will then find all files that have been deleted and it will take you through the process of rescuing them. The files you are rescuing will need to be saved to a place other than the thumb drive, which it will ask you to do...

After you successfully copy the files to another location, from the thumb drive, try opening them. If they appear like scrambled text, it's because you either didn't open the documents with the correct program, OR worse, data was written over the files, as I described before...Not a good idea to use proprietary software.

Solve : microsoft word/powerpoint document question?

Answer»

Iam trying to do a layout for a design on a t-shirt, and I was wondering if someone could tell me how to box in the lettering of each advertisement. Make a box square for each name on the t-shirt. Thanks.Not sure I can HELP since I'm not very familiar with PowerPoint. But, to help us help you, please tell us what version you have.Are you wanting an INVISIBLE box or one that you can see? You can use the options on the drawing TOOLBAR to do this.If I understand you PROPERLY you WANT to put a box line around a name.
After selecting "Insert" then "Text Box" and once the text box is visible, place cursor on the edge of the text box and right click. One of your options now will be "Format Text Box". Choosing this option allows you to make a solid box line (of your color choice) around the object(in this case a name) .With this option you can also choose "Fill" should you want to fill the box with a color of your choice. There are also a few additional options in "Format Text Box".

Solve : My taskbar is giving me problems with scrolling the buttons, help, please!?

Answer»

Recently an antivirus program attached itself to my computer and I had to recover my system computer, because of this all the settings I'm comfortable with are gone and I'm dealing with some really wierd new things I'd never encountered before, so let me explain my situation.

I have Windows Vista Basic Home and when I TRY to open multiple windows they don't align themselves across the taskbar like they USED to. Instead of being on the left side, they're on the right and when I open more than two they make a small scroll bar on my taskbar and make me scroll to use and see my different buttons. It really is making me angry seeing as I'm a writer and I need to get to this fast and easy. I've tried to search EVERYTHING on here and computer help and on my control panel. I'm FREAKING lost, will anyone please help me?How exactly did you clean the PC ? ?

Ok, let me get this straight, you want to completely wipe your hard drive from within windows with a windows program. That isn't going to happen.How are you going to wipe your hard drive if the program you are using to do so is installed on the hard drive itself ?

If you don't want to use DBN, just boot up your installation CD, delete all partitions and format the hard drive as one whole partition... As I stated in the other THREAD you started..

http://vistaenterprise.windowsreinstall.com/installnewhdd/installnewhdd.htm

Use the guide... When you get to the part where is shows all the current partitions on your computer, select DRIVE OPTIONS (Advanced) and delete all the partitions... Proceed with the instructions afterward.Maybe the OP doesn't know how to burn or disk nor did the OP bother looking up the slackware install documents. There's a piece on installing from an image. The same method could be used for any iso.

I'm confused how slackware became RELEVANT. Nor do I see how one would logically decide to look at slackware installation documents when trying to burn a DBAN iso.http://www.slackware.com/faq/do_faq.php?faq=installation#1

Does this answer your question?
No. None of that is EVEN remotely relevant.

He's not running Slackware. he isn't even running Linux. you're basically suggesting he download and install (or live boot) a Linux distro, which will put him right back where he started (Linux distro's are ISO files usually) for the express purpose of... what? the FAQ asks the question:

Q: How do I install from the ISO9660 image if I don't have a CD-R or CD-RW drive (or "I have no way to burn this image that I just downloaded.")?

First, he's trying to run Darik's Boot and Nuke. he's not trying to install slackware. Or any Linux distro, for that matter.

Second, the instructions refer to booting from the slackware live CD, mounting an ISO file- and then running the slackware setup using the mounted drive as the source for the slackware install. The DBAN disk needs to be booted from. It doesn't contain any install files.

Third: this still doesn't explain this:

Quote

That doesn't make any sense. Why would looking at the slackware install documents be "common sense" (as is implied here) when trying to burn a ISO file on a windows Vista System?

Quote

what the are you talking about? seriously? I can see the relevance if he was trying to install a Linux distro, but he's trying to burn a ISO from windows Vista. Totally different. Sure, he could use a Linux Distro to clear out all the partitions on the drive, but he'll still need to burn the Distro's ISO.


Eric1611: burn the DBAN ISO using IMGBurn and boot from it.

Also, you REALIZE that by erasing everything you will no longer have anything on the drive- and your system will no longer boot from the hard drive? Do you have an OS disc or "recovery" disc?


EDIT: I also found an (older, I believe) version that can be used from a floppy disk:

The original reason for this post is almost certainly the fact that the OP doesn't know to burn ISO images, not that they don't have a burner. and if they don't have a burner, how are they going to boot into Linux to run the commands described in the FAQ?

I contend that they simply do not know how to burn ISO images, which is what prompted the original question.Thank you ALL for your help !!! I`m in a total panic because it`s all gone wrong.My WHOLE studio(music)does not run anymore because someone else wrecked it for me !(And that`s my LIFE !).

Solve : Corrupted text file?

Answer»

I have a Gateway E2000 win HE SP2. I had been having monitor problems [suddenly going black] and had to do hard shutdowns of computer. I may have fixed that problem by changing a display setting]; however, when I tried to open a text file afterwards the text had changed into a bunch of 'squares' and couldn't be read by EditPad, Notepad, etc nor wordpad, etc. [rtf] programs.

Is there a WAY to reconvert or a free program that will convert the file back to readable txt? I is an important file with years of information on it and my only backup only has 1/10 the info.

D.Black Squares indicate that something happened with the bytes of the file. If it is a .txt file (notepad CREATES these), it is recoverable with a long trial-n-error process. PM me when you get the chance.oops, I forgot the XP in HE. Thanks for the reply Link_Dead. Did you get my PM?

e.g.: "Oops! You messed up!", "Oops! FireFox crashed!", "Oops, something wrong occurred!"

HOW ABOUT GIVING ME THE ACTUAL ERROR IN ASSEMBLY DETAIL SO I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON?!
No, I don't feel like going to eventvwr.
Man, how are users SUPPOSED to advance this way? They treat them like they are retards.

Edit: I fixed it. The Application log was full. Application log properties -> change size to something larger (factor of 64). I changed it to 48xxx.

Here's the link: application log corrupt
Is this informative?



To some people, maybe. But consider the if not of support calls that probably went like this:


Tech: Technical support, can I help you?
Customer: Shh, be QUIET! I think the feds are onto me!
Tech: Excuse me?
Customer: you don't know? My COMPUTER did something!
Tech: Alright... what happened?
Customer: Well... I'm not sure, but I don't want to go to jail!
Tech: Sir, I assure you, people aren't sent to jail because they have problems with their computers
Customer: Did you know they do things that are ILLEGAL? That's what it said! "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down! I hope the government doesn't think told the program to do that! I didn't! I'm an innocent bystander!

And of course, we have the easily readable error from windows NT:




This basically says, "the program crashed. Here's some useless gibberish"

Windows XP... well, it's a little better...




OF course I can only guess at the number of totally redundant Error reports that the MS servers get.

The win7 one seems a lot more informative.




Of course, you're talking about firefox (and other applications of that nature)... I imagine you're referring (for example) to functionality like the automatic tab restoration, whereby starting FF after a crash shows the "Well, This is embarassing" or something similar error.

Consider the program state. It just started. (I don't know how FF keeps track of dirty shut downs) but lets say, all it knows is it didn't shut down properly.

It doesn't know why. In fact, It cannot know why- it crashed- there was no chance to save even what the error code was. (well, technically they could install a global error handler or something, but that has other connotations that would mess it up even worse). All it knows is it had those tabs open, and can open them. the prompt is displayed, because for all FF knows, the crash was caused by one of the pages or a plugin or other item on one of those tabs.

If Firefox crashes, however, you can get the very same information as you would for any other application crash; (for example, the various "Details" or "View what this REPORT contains" items on all the above (except NT4) can be used to view this information.

Note that it might be that the use of the error reporting dialogs are disabled- this was the case for my XP VM for some reason. I could double-click "crasher.exe" until I was BLUE in the face, but it didn't do anything. and I was trying to crash, I mean, seriously, copying 16MB to a null address cannot possibly succeed!

I find the Windows NT and the Windows 7 ones to be the most informative.
If I see c0000005, then I know it's in the video memory area of the memory segment map.

Windows 7 has the best error report, I find, because it offers both a report for experts and some easy click suggestions for noobs.

The messed up thing is, I tried to start firefox fresh from coming out of standby, FireFox crashes, suggests me to restart it, I click 'restart', it crashes again with the same UI error report, loop loop loop.. I had to install the latest build (even though I had 3.x!) lol.

It's trying to read from memory you don't have read access to or write to memory you don't have write access to.

It's almost always a result of a null pointer, or a similar issue.

Solve : Screen fades to white...?

Answer»

I wasn't sure whether this was a hardware, software, or driver problem, so my apologies if this is the wrong place. The problem I am having with my computer is that every time I run a GAME on my PC, the screen goes black, and then slowly fades to white. At times, the computer BECOMES completely unresponsive, and while other times I am able to minimize the program and END the task in task manager. Something I also noticed is that there is STILL sound, so maybe it's the video card? If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!We are going to NEED more information about your computer.AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.8 GHZ, 3 GB RAM, 32 Bit OS, NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE nForce 430, Windows Vista Home Premium. Anything else?Which game is it doing that with?It's been doing it with pretty much anything that goes into full screen, but the most recent game I've been trying to run is an older game, SimCity 3000. I know there has been issues running older games on Vista, but I don't think this is the reason because I have never ran into this problem before.

Solve : Copying Flash to Hard Drive?

Answer»

Hello and thank you for looking at my thread.

I have tried to copy flash video to my hard DRIVE and several options are available to do it apparently.
I am using Firefox mainly and the computer has Windows XP Pro SP3 with plenty of drive space available and 1.5 gig ram.
I tried using "Tools" "Page Info" "Media" SELECT the required file (swf) and then "Save as" in the bottom RIGHT hand corner.
Sometimes this has worked. Mostly though it has not.

I am a member of a website that has video tutorials that I want to save to my computer so I can view them at my leisure and have tried this method but they dont save any video or audio?
I get the complete screen, title and the time displayed of how long the video is... but no video or audio.

Can some one please tell me what it is I am doing wrong, or tell me an alternative way of saving these tutorials?

Thank you. ImnoGuru.
See if this will help you= http://www.nirsoft.net/articles/copy_flash_flv_temp_file.html
truenorthThanks truenorth for your post. I will try that method today and see where that takes me.

I did a bit of research on the subject in the meantime and followed another method that led me through "Tools+Page info+Media". Find the swf file, open new window and type "about:cache" in the location bar.
That window came up with " The cache is disabled"

This may be a clue as to what I need to do to take a copy of this video.

Setting up a camera in front of the screen and letting the video play, while recording the video in that manner has been my best solution to date. Its very fuzzy and distorted from the screen refreshing. Not exactly optimal.
Thanks for your post truenorth.

Wow that worked a treat. Sensational.

I have spent hours and hours searching and downloading programs that SAY they are going to do just that, and you come up with this gem. Fantastic. Works great.

Now I feel I will be able to get the value of the system I have paid for. I've been caught out with this company before... well, not caught out so much... but they changed to a different website and renamed it, so all the old CONTENT was deleted and the new format didnt include the old material.

Now I can copy it with this, save it to view later, and your program is easy to understand and use.

Thanks heaps.
Your very welcome. Glad to hear it is doing what you wanted. Wish i could say it was "my program" i would probably be a lot richer in pocket. All i did was research for you and found the one you are now able to benefit from. truenorthtruenorth, I searched and googled till I ended up with carpal tunnel injuries trying to find one that worked well.
I ended up with 12 of them. And they all have to be learned, just to test whether they work or not. I only got to the 5th one before I asked for some help here.
It was driving me nuts.

The one you recommended worked first time, no great read me file. Just download open and operate. Worked a treat.
See its all in the way you search for stuff, but youve gotta know what it is your looking for first.
I'll remember you in my will.

Thanks again truenorth.Just a quick update on copying those flash video's truenorth.

That program you showed me has worked a treat.
It has to be the easiest one I have seen yet. Cant thank you enough.
So far I have about 26 out of about 170 or more video's.

And every video has a link to somewhere else to learn what they are talking about. So I'll just have to concentrate on downloading them first I think.
I only have about two months left of the contract to get them. (I dont know what happens after that though yet... whether I still get access to them or not?)
( I should really... I paid for them) Must ask when I get a chance.

Thanks again.Hi updating on my video downloads.
Thanks to truenorth for the suggestion to use videocache view.
It worked for most of the videos I viewed so far but not for all of them.

I'm up to module 5 out of 12 and I worked out that there are approximately 500 odd videos.
(So really good value for my investment and subscription.)

There are a lot of videos that it just doesnt see in the cache.

I downloaded FVD for F/Fox but same thing.... "No videos available for download" is the message that it gives me a lot of the time.
I downloaded heaps of programs that say they are video capture programs, but they are mainly for an operator to record and place on the net.
I need something the other way round.

Does anyone have another suggestion that might pick up these other videos that I want to copy to my hard drive.

The other videos are a variety of brands, like camtasia. I dont know the others but those ones open in a new window and start automatically.I have been using my digital camera on video mode to copy them, but they end up with huge file sizes of 500,000 mb.
So that is clearly not acceptable.

I hope someone might be able to help me with this copying video from screen problem.

Thank you.

Solve : windows xp help and support dosen,t contain any options under pick a help topic?

Answer»

When i click the help and support button and the page comes up there are no options under "pick a help topic" in the left pane.You may find better help in the XP section in Windows.http://windowsxp.mvps.org/helpctrindex.htm

If that doesn't work, do you use any registry cleaners?No i don't have a cleaner now. i tried a couple but they just want you to buy their product. I have found a few more problems that might be connected. when closing system information i get a script ERROR popup. when i try to usr trouble shooter in divice manager i get an activex control error. I searched microsoft knowledge but i didn't find any answers. I'm not suggesting you use a registry cleaner. On the contrary, some are known to cause this very problem - that's what I was trying to find out. So you DID use one? If so, did this problem appear after using it? And did you disable any Windows Services?

Let's try this for now - insert your XP cd and go to START - RUN and type: sfc /scannow and press enter. Let it run, then reboot and see what happens.Yes i ran a registry cleaner "free registry cleaner" It showed a number of supposed problems but would clean a couple of minor problems unless you purchased their product. My problems started before that that's why i tried the cleaner. I didn't disable any windows services. I have used CCleaner for years with no problems.
As suggested i ran scf /scannow and rebooted but i still have the same problems. I have a question. I had upgraded my COMPUTER from xp sp2 to sp3 with all the updates. By using my xp sp2 to do scannow would that change any of that?.

RECOUNT OF PROBLEMS FOUND SO FAR

1)Help and support doesn't contain any options in the left pane under pick
a help topic or if it does they don't work.

2) When closing system information i get an explorer script error.
An error occurred in the script on this page
Line: 60
Char: 3
URL: hcp://system/systeminfo/msinfo.htm

3) Device managers troubleshooter gives me an activex pop up and won't let me go any further. this can be worked around by changing the security settings in internet explorer and changing them back when done.

4) No sound even though device manager says it is working

MAYBE i should format the disk and loose every thing and start from
scratch.













Yes, it would make a difference. You must use the same version to run system file checker. And it does sound as though you have a number of issues. Tell you what, before you reformat why not try a repair install. Create an XP SP3 disc of you don't have one (you can use nlite to slipstream), boot to it, and choose the SECOND repair option. XP will install on top of itself. Either this will fix your problems or it won't. You can always reformat later.

And re the sound issue - do you want to provide some background on that?I'm not quite sure what you mean. Should i use nLite to copy (slipstream)my xp sp2 disk and add my sp3 disk to it and use that disk to load xp.

As far as the sound goes i usually keep it off at the speakers because when i shut down and it plays a tune and my dog goes crazy. I just tried it recently and it didn't workThis is an update to the problems i listed

1) Help and support - no options
2) System information - script error
3) Device manager - troubleshooter won't work
These were cured by doing a XP repair using my XP CD
I think my sound problem was caused by a previous repair. The repair did fine until the end. Then it said "PLEASE WAIT". I waited 2 hours then i reset the computer. I think that's when the devices or the drivers might be configured.
Still no sound so i went to device manager and uninstalled the realtek ac97 device. Then i went to Cnet on the internet and downloaded an updated and installed it. that cured my sound problem.

Does any body know why my the XP CD repair won't go past the "PLEASE WAIT" screen near the end. I have tried 2 different disks and they both do the same thing.

Thank you all for the ideas.

The only one that I can think of was regclean, by microsoft, and that was meant to solve a very specific issue under a specific set of circumstances. Advanced SystemCare does a great job at helping keep your system and registry clean. Plus it has a safety restore on it, which I've never needed to use yet. You can even go select it in the boot manager, if your current startup isn't working or you screwed something up, you have a backup startup (so it's a plus and not that large even). It also has system defense BLOCKS in place, system optimatizations, a more advance disk defragger, security analyzer, spyware scan, etc, etc.

I got a free year license for it when Microsoft Win7 Party Launched as well as Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and a number of other security / cleanup programs, funny that! Even if i did pay, it would be worth it.

The amount of junk that gets entered into the Windows Registry and never removed is crazy, blame Microsoft and their creation of the registry mess and the other applications that don't clean up rather than the clean up tools that try fix it and performance issues.

As for 'RAM compression' it's mostly just unloading unused windows dlls (which you can do manually) and defrags your memory (not a major issue). Only helpful if you haven't got that much memory, which is cheap these days, so not really needed anymore. BACK when you had 256MB it would of been a major performance boost.

First off, stuff that get's entered into the registry and never removed doesn't slow the system down.

Second they created the registry as a central settings repository. At the time trying to find out where a program saved it's settings was a matter of finding the right INI file. And oftentimes you'd have INI files all over the drive, and a lot of programs decided to just save their settings in WIN.INI, and since there was a built in limit of 64K for INI files this would often corrupt WIN.INI making the system unbootable.

No. All it does is page out of RAM to the page file. You just end up paging it back into main memory. Not very productive. All it does is slow you down and give you a higher amount of free memory, at least for the short time you stand there staring at the little system tray icon showing free RAM. the moment you switch to another application you are greeted with disk trashing as that applications address space is paged in- not just the stuff that windows would have decided, over time, to page out because it wasn't used, but the entire thing. In either case, it's not helpful regardless of how much RAM you actually have.


Quote
Advanced SystemCare does a great job at helping keep your system and registry clean.

forgetting the rest of that first paragraph (startup manager? sounds more like a pretty face on copying registry keys, sure hope SystemCare stores those startup configs in a file, otherwise it's contributing to a "dirty" registry.

Which brings me back to the specific quote- I take odds against this one- how do you define a "Clean" registry? What is the difference between a "Clean" system or registry and a "dirty" one?

Just because the registry has a lot of keys/values that are not used and/or are forgotten does not constitute a "dirty" registry. In fact, I contend that since the registry cannot actually be made "dirty" it's also impossible to define exactly what "cleaning" the registry is, and this particular opinion is backed up by the fact that even those companies/individuals that create registry cleaners don't even come close to agreeing. one might find double, or three times the number of "obsolete" entries in the registry.

I've already covered this, in a lot of posts- but aside from the fact that defining a "Dirty" is impossible to reason out, it's equally impossible to determine programmatically.

First off, many people would contend that unused sections/keys in the registry are not used. This seems sensible.

However- how does a registry cleaner decide what is, and is not used? How does it "know" what registry keys are actually being used by applications and which ones aren't?

And of course there are the ones that go completely overboard and try to determine what registry keys are "invalid" this is an equally futile endeavour. Other applications store this data. Only the other applications know what it's for.

A lot of cleaners "recognize" when a REG_SZ value is a filename.

A lot of these cleaners determine that if that file does not actually exist, then the key is invalid.

However, what if the application uses that setting to determine where to a file or folder? Did the cleaner not just screw up that application? what happens when it starts up? Who knows! It might even crash! IF registry "dirt" like that caused crashes, you would think that "cleaning" the registry would do the opposite, but it doesn't always work that way.


I contend that the only Hive that can get "dirty" is the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key, (which is really just an ALIAS for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\clsid key). why?

it's format is well defined- but! here's the kicker!

the format is documented! each version of windows introduced new values and keys within the classes key that CHANGED or even made current "cleaning" tools redundant. The only actual cleaner would be a simple loop through all the keys. if that key has a DLL file reference that exists then it's valid. if not, delete it. This is especially the case when converting the defined progID to a CLSID does not actually reflect the CLSID of the component.

That's it. you cannot "clean" any of the other hives, merely because you cannot define what a "dirty" registry is any more then you can say wether a file on your file system is unused.

Stable, performance and secure is better, microsoft focuses mostly on the pretty. However, it's not just Microsoft that's gone that path to get more sales.

Do you remember the time you first installed the OS and how fast/smooth it was before all the extras? And yes it will slow down over time if not managed. Well a brand new OS is nothing in performance compared to a fully tweaked one.

I'm the kind of person that expects a 1 millisecond delay or less. I don't want to wait between clicks, applications loading, starting up and shutting down, etc. Most of it is setup and tweaked to be instant on my computer. I get alarmed if it doesn't.

Alot of people saying that 'registry cleaners dont make the machine run faster', that maybe, but i dont wash my car to make it go faster.

That's my tuppence worth. This has been quite the thread and it's been very interesting to read the different views.
It had been pointed out to me here at CH that tampering with the registry can be very dangerous. More than I actually realized.This warning came in one of my first posts. So I do take this warning seriously.
Now having said this, what I would like to know is :do any of you know of anyone who has ever encountered any problems when using the CCleaner registry(cleaner,fixer,repairer) feature?. Again, I'm specific here ,CCleaner registry cleaner(I'll call it cleaner). If so, I would like to hear that; absolutely, unequivocally, it was the CCleaner registry cleaner that caused problems . It appears to me that all of these registry cleaners are being painted with the same brush. Most seem to agree that CCleaner is a good program. But, the registry cleaner should not be used because it is useless and/or it will cause problems. Is there no chance at all that the people at CCleaner got their complete program right?. Like I said earlier, their registry cleaner cured a problem for me when I could find no other way and I've had absolutely no problems when using CCleaner. So if it cured a problem and didn't create any , how can it be considered useless?
And no, I'm not one of their salesmen. Yes, I have encountered proplems with registry cleaners. One client, back when I was still working in computers, used Iolo's System Mechanic. The results were horrible. I had to fix three of his computers. In regards to Piriforms registry cleaner, I don't think that I've encountered any issues with it. However I think it just might be a lot less aggressive than most of them.

With that being said I still want to make it clear that letting something whiz through your registry with a mind of it's own is a stupid idea.I've said this before- but it's been a while, but this is how I've always seen it and why there even is a market for registry cleaning in the first place.

The registry was originally designed to replace the INI files that were strewn about the disk like nobodies business in windows 3.x.

It stores the same information as would be stored in an INI file (excepting the HKEY_DYN_DATA and performance data keys, which are dynamically generated and don't even exist in the registry at all).

However- with windows 3.x- there was no such product as an "INI file cleaner" you could use file utilities to round up older INI files but you could never be sure that they weren't used by anything.

At the time it was a rite of passage to learn how to edit INI files- it was rather simple to do and posed very little danger. for example, a text editor I used with windows 3.1 - PFE (Programmers File Editor) stored it's settings in an INI file. You could open that file, and edit it as you please. however, you could be absolutely certain that no matter how much you munged up "PFE.INI" the only application that would be affected was PFE.

The idea to migrate to a central settings database was due to the fact that at the time, INI files were far less then convenient for the tasks of system standardization and group policies- if all the settings were stored in a central database, there would only be one place to look for the settings- you wouldn't have to actually retrace the steps of the application to find out which of the three INI files it was using in order to edit the right one. a common symptom was that people would be told via instructions to edit an INI file for an application in C:\windows, only to find that nothing changed, because there was an INI file in the applications directory as well.


In order to better ORGANIZE the settings, they settled on a heirarchal arrangement of keys and values, placed into Hives (so named because one of the developers hated bees or something).

Truly, the registry already existed in windows 3.1; it was basically used for what is now stored in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT; file associations and registered OLE components. for windows 95 they expanded it and made it a central feature of the operating system with it's own set of API functions as well as supporting multiple data types.

The unintended result was to make the registry a large, monolithic database holding a vast quantity of different information- you could edit a good number of the settings without ill effect, but editing others could make it necessary to reinstall windows 95 entirely.

Being that it was no longer simply text files you could open, the registry was somewhat of a mystery to people- and in fact it still is. Many people, even today, refer to the registry as "windows brain" which is a rather vulgar interpretation as well as an ill-thought out analogy- it's basically a collection of settings, used by any number of applications, that happens to be centralized in a single database. It was this sort of misundestanding of the registry and exactly what it was that was preyed upon by the eventual release of commercial "registry cleaner" products. to make matters worse these registry cleaners were and often still are a part of some sort of all-in-one solution including disk defragmentation, disk checking, disk cleanup, and so forth, making it seem like cleaning the registry is as important as those other operations.

The first registry cleaner ever made was made by microsoft- it was exclusively created for cleaning out obsolete and non-existent registered ACTIVEX components. and it worked fine. Perhaps it was the release of this particular tool and the gigantic furor it caused (which, in those days, meant about 20 people had heard about it) was what eventually made other companies realize that they would be entering a lucrative market by making a tool that does the exact same thing as "regclean" did but at a higher price point.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is the only hive that should be "checked" by any sort of registry cleaner. but many cleaners check other areas in the registry.

a prime example. some time ago I ran ccleaner. next time I went to work on my evaluation library, it refused to start. apparently, CCleaner decided that my applications key in hkey_current_user/software/ was obsolete, and deleted it.

What makes this even more silly is the fact that my program did nothing wrong- it's registry key and the data stored within just happened to fit some sort of pattern that CCleaner recognized and chose it for deletion. This was because it had a number of entries that would CCleaner decided were filenames (but were in fact Expressions) and then found that those files (which weren't filenames to begin with) didn't exist, therefore meaning that the program had been deleted from disk manually, so it decided that the entire key was a waste of space.

It wasn't just that it happened to my application and I spent a futile 4 hours looking for some sort of subtle bug in my code only to discover that it was a ccleaner registry clean I had run over a month earlier that caused it that aggravated me, but rather the fact that it couldn't possibly be an isolated incident. Other programs keep all sorts of data in the registry and no registry cleaner can make the assertion that "this value is a filename" or "this value is a file path" even with the best sort of analysis. Such pattern recognition can be made better but it can never be made perfect; just as an AV will occasionally pick up a false positive so too will the pattern recognition of a registry cleaner will misidentify a value,as it did for me. (note I'm speaking in terms of everything but HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT "cleaning" which is rather well-defined in terms of what each value is).

For me, I literally had to include extra code that took account of the otherwise impossible scenario where the registry key A contains data that implies that registry key B exists, but registry key B doesn't actually exist. Without running ccleaner, such an eventually would never happen, but since I cannot guarantee that all my applications will run on PCs that don't run the CCleaner registry component, I had to add a good page of code just to handle that set of eventualities.


Of course, there will be just as many incidents of "miracle cures" of a system as there will be catastrophic failures, but when then again- people have won millions and billions of dollars through playing the lottery, that doesn't mean everybody comes out a winner. And of course those slot machine tickets mock you on purpose, putting two lemons or two sevens for the first two scratch slots only to deliver you a plum or something for the third one. Why must they taunt us! what cruel and heartless *censored* conceived of such devious lottery ticket design?

there's a saying I just invented:

Some people have a problem, and they say "I know, I'll use a registry cleaner".

Now they have two problems.Couldn't have said it better myself BC.
Okay, well actually I could have, but I still love your posts I was actually considering removing all of it and just leaving the saying... but everybody would have thought my forum account was hacked by somebody who actually embraces terse replies.

it was also a preemptive response to a post/comment that is usually made in discussions about the registry, saying that the registry was a bad idea to begin with, which usually comes from those who weren't around to see what was being used before that, which was no better. The fact that Microsoft couldn't see into the future and realize that all sorts of other companies might capitalize on the confusion resulting from the change is hardly their fault.

Ironically enough in my last few programs I've abandoned storing any data in the registry at all, and gone back to INI files, since I know that there won't be an "INI file cleaner" program trying to understand and selectively delete data that belongs exclusively to my program. So I won't waste hours writing workaround code that is basically working around problems with other peoples programs that like to pilfer my programs data.

Yeah, when I use a program that offers the option of storing preferences in a .ini file vs the registry I always choose the former.

Solve : Registry Cleaner or not??

Answer»

For the last month my computer has been GETTING slower and slower. Now it has crashed at least 8 times in the last 3 days. The only thing I can do is force it to restart and it can take up to 40 minutes to get it working again. This is a 3 month old computer so it shouldn't have problems. I've looked at a few different sites and one thing I found on a lot of them was that it can be a problem with the REGISTRY. So I ran a scan on the Registry Tools program pre-installed on my computer. It found 317 things wrong with it. And then of course I'd have to pay to get it to repair these things. I've heard that a lot of these programs are useless or just do more damage.
So my question is: should I use a registry cleanup program or not? And, if not, then what can I do instead?

And I apologise if this is in the wrong section but I wasn't sure where to put it. I appreciate any help anyone can give.I suggest avoiding registry cleaners, as they generally cause more problems than they fix. The registry is more than likely not the issue.
I suggest going here. Follow the directions exactly and post the required logs.Agreed - DO NOT use registry cleaners. Period.

1) Run a full scan of your system with BOTH your anti virus software and MalwareBytes
2) Define "crash". Do you get a blue screen error? If so, what is it?I ran a full scan with McAfee Internet Security 2010 around a week ago and found no problems. I'm running another one now. Is this other software definitely alright to use? Only I don't like to install programs without knowing what they are.

By crash I mean it completely freezes. First every program will not respond and then the screen freezes and and I can do nothing, not even move the mouse. Ctrl+alt+delete does nothing. The only way to get it working again is to hold the off button until it turns off and restart the computer.Yes, MalwareBytes is 100% safe to download and run. It is a top tier anti-malware utility.

What led up to this - in other words, what is different between the last time the system worked well and the first time it did not (new hw, sw, virus, error, etc)?The software in the link that I gave you is definitely safe to use, we have some of the best virus specialists available. McAfee is not really the best solution for antivirals, but that is just my opinion. I prefer to use Avast! myself. For malware scanners SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes are excellent and top notch.I got the computer 3 months ago. It ran quickly and started up quickly. But over the last month or so I've started having problems. I don't know if you've heard of it but on Miniclip Games there is an online animation program called Sketch Star. It was with this that there was the main problem. At first it worked fine but then every time I used it it would make my internet (wireless) cut out. I emailed their support team to see what they had to say about it and they said it was probably a problem on my end rather than theirs.
Since that problem started the computer has been slowing down. It takes longer to restart than it used to and takes a lot longer to load programs and WEBPAGES. I run regular virus scans and so far there has been nothing, just a couple of minor tracking cookies that were deleted.


And I'll take a look at those malware programs.Okay. After you run the scans, if the problem persists try a clean boot (start - run - msconfig - do a selective startup - uncheck everything and reboot) and report back regarding how quickly things load and if there are any problems. Also, what OS are you using?I'm now having to borrow my mum's painfully slow computer for this. Mine crashed again. I had other things to do so I left it for 15-20 minutes in the hope that it would sort itself out. When I came back I had a black screen which I assumed meant it had gone into standby. It wouldn't come back on. I've tried restarting it several times but each time I just get a black screen, no matter how long I leave it for. The num lock and caps lock lights keep flashing on and off repeatedly (without me pressing either) and that's the only response I'm getting from it.

And I have Windows 7.

Is there anything I can do to get it to start again? Perhaps I should try sweet talking it instead of calling it names
so at this point, computer's not gonna let you in? Not even to able get to safe mode?Post the machine specs...or as much of them you have access to...

How old is this machine and were there any issues prior to Win7 ? ?
Also how old approx. are the hard drives >? ?Can you access safe mode?

And post what info Patio ASKED for as well.No, I couldn't access safe mode. It was just a black screen. But I finally managed to get it to start up after a few hours. I had to take the BATTERY out and replace it twice first. Then when it did start it crashed again and it took 40 minutes and 4 restarts to get it going and get an internet connection again. I think I'm going to have to call Tesco (people I brought it from) electrical helpline tomorrow. As it's under warranty they'd repair it for free if it needs it.

Here's the specs of it: http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/HP_Compaq_Presario_CQ61-310SA_Laptop_VN048EA/version.asp
I only got it at the end of December and it's only me who uses it so it's not that there's too much on there. It came with Windows 7 already on there so no, there were no problems before it.Take advantage of the Warranty...that's what it's there for.

NOTE: Attempting to fix it yourself may void the Warranty in some cases.

Solve : Unaccounted-for Disk Space?

Answer»

Attached here is a SCREENSHOT (the directory in question is my root folder, C:) of a report from foldersize.exe, a utility that shows the sizes of folders in a directory, as well as the files in that directory, together with Windows Explorer showing what is actually found in C:\. (Hidden files and folders are enabled.)

Notice the 1.22 Gb, 7 files. The Windows Explorer shows NOTHING of the sort. Any ideas?


[recovering disk space - OLD attachment deleted by admin]This week's hot topic.

1) System Restore eats a lot of space. If you want to disable system restore you'll gain a bunch of space back
2) You can delete confi.msi folders
3) Empty your temporary INTERNET files folder and your recycle bin

Solve : Registry Defragmentation?

Answer»

I was just wondering, does it do anything to increase speed? I've Googled it and found some pages on it but I wasn't sure if it was just product advertising or not. Has anyone done it before? Does it screw with your computer or increase/decrease speed?

Thanks.In the old days, when systems didn't use as much ram and hd & CPU speed was slower, defragging the registry might have made a minimal difference in performance. These days it rarely if ever does. If you want the best utility for optimizing the registry get NTREGOPT (it's free and PACKAGED with ERUNT, which is the best available registry backup utility - also free).

While it's unlikely that optimizing (defragmenting) the registry will cause any problems, you can be certain that NOT optimizing will not cause problems. Why mess with it if you don't have to? But if you do, use ERUNT or a disc imaging utility first.the registry is preallocated when you install most versions of XP and higher, so it only gets fragmented when it gets extremely large, in which case you have bigger problems anyway.

Yet another type of tool intended solely to PREY on the common misconceptions on the subject. For what it's worth, I have seen a speed difference after using NTREGOPT, which I do on a regular basis. Whether that's a real difference or just in my HEAD is up for debate, all I can do is report that I have seen or "felt" it.

Solve : how to run bat file from remote computer?

pause


this code is executed in my computer...
but i hav to run from other computer..

so whatn can i do for that
i think the bat file must be LOCATED somewhere on the other computer so you can run it when connected. i would be happy to KNOW if there is another way of doing this.rft is not installed on that pc...so error msg comes class path not found...

when we run fron remote computer....

give me proper way to run a bat file from remote computer...

by giving an example
from what i know the batch file must be located EITHER on the computer or shared in a folder on the same network.
if you have the correct credentials for the remote computer, navigate to the file location then double click it or open the COMMAND prompt then type filename.batTCPLISTNER will do it. Difficult to do the programming.

Solve : Sonic MyDVD - Disk is Full?

Answer»

Hi there, hope someone can help me. My programs were working smoothly until I had a hard drive failure. I had the hard drive replaced, then re-installed all of my programs. Every other program is working correctly. The problem I am having is with Sonic MyDVD Deluxe Version 6.1.0. I can open the program, import a video file and edit the file. But, when I try to “Save As” Test I get this message - [Disk is Full – file info: path = C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\My DVDs\Test\Test.dvd, position = 0 -19027]

I have 1.5TB of empty space on my hard drive so I know the disk is not full.

The steps I’ve already taken. First I uninstalled my Sonic MyDVD program and re-started the computer. I then did a clean install of the Sonic MyDVD program and re-started the computer. I still get the same error message. Please let me know how to FIX this problem. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Thank you,
First of all what format did you re-format your Hard Drive?

FAT32 can't go above the 4GB file-size limit, even if your hard drive is bigger.
You will have to reformat to NTFS in this case to support larger content and also get a performance boost.
Ensure your Hard Drive is NTFS!

Second is there any Partitions?

Even though a Hard Drive has so much ROOM, it could be partitioned off. Ensure your C:\ isn't a small partition of the hard drive.

Windows XP has a limit of the original partition for a Hard Drive format. XP Service Pack 3 addresses this. Update your XP to Service Pack 3 if you haven't already. Your Hard Drive if formated when using an older version will be limited and NEED to be expanded.

How to resolve this issue?

Under your 'Disk Management'. Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools. Double click Computer Management and then click Disk Management in the left hand column. Look for unallocated space at the end of your Hard Drive. Resize the image to the full size available. Check if NTFS. Check if Partitioned.

Third, if that's not your issue, then it could be the program itself. A test would be copying/creating a file larger than 4GB like an ISO to your C:\, if you can do that it's not the hard drive format problem.
The hard drive is formatted to NTFS. C:\ is the largest partition – Total space available is 1.81TB – Free space is 1.54TB.


Are you sure your not using a previous WinXP before Service Pack 3? This happens a lot when people reinstall these WinXP OS without service packs and have a larger HD. Without that update, Windows cannot handle any single disk volume over 128 GB. The rest is just labeled unallocated space. After updating it still remains unallocated.

1. Leave it as it is and use Windows Disk Manager to create separate partitions in the unallocated space. With original XP Pro (SP1 or SP2), every one of them will be limited to less than 128GB. If you don't want to or can't update to SP3, but quite annoying solution.

2. Use Partition Magic or Unbutu to expand the existing partition to include all the space available. Windows itself will not let you change the size of the boot partition. Do NOT do this until AFTER you have updated your XP.

3. If not, try updating your Sonic MyDVD product and ensure it's not some type of bug from that.

Is it only with that file or for anything you test on Sonic MyDVD or other software too? It might also be some media copy protection issue as the location is thrown off.

Make sure the path location exists 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\My DVDs\Test\' and not being restricted.

Run a CHKDSK /f, to ensure no HD errors and try it again?Wat was the size of the HID that failed?
Here is a wild guess.
Maybe that program has a secret feature to prevent you from doing an install on another machine. When you changed the HDD, it thinks you have a new machine.
Of course that is RIDICULES. Sony would never do something link that.

Try to make a smaller NESTS partition. Use an image program to make a second copy of you system to the smaller partition.Then see if the program runs better in a smaller partition.

Of course, that is a lot of hassle. But if you want to pursue that kind of workaround, say so and we can help you with a method.

Oh, somebody asked if you are using the latest service pack. Yes, that can be a really serious problem if you still on XP SP-1.1) Try saving the file to a different location.
2) Boot to the Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r (NOT chkdsk /f, and not from within the OS). It will take a while to finish - let it do so.
3) If you still have a problem, try creating a new partition with a 3rd party utility and try saving the file to a folder on the new partition.
I truly appreciate the help. I checked the Add/Remove Programs file and saw Service Pack 3. Just to be certain I checked the Windows Update site and did the following:

To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:
1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.Copy and paste, or type the following command and then click OK:
winver
A dialog box displays the version of Windows and the service pack that is currently installed on your computer.

Solve : how to make the computer compute??

Answer»

i would like to know how to get this machine to calculate the number of hours that have elapsed since i was born....or solve a TRIGONOMETRY PROBLEM, or do some algebra with multiple unknowns. the simple calculator on the start MENU isn't up to the tasks. VBASIC will do exactly what you want.thank you alex. but i think i'd prefer some simpler ACCESS to arithmetic. vbasic seems to require knowledge of a special LANGUAGE and it's for programmers, not dumb old ladies like me. and the arithmetic function is something i'd only rarely use.You've gotta use some kind of program. Try this one http://www.easycalculation.com/date-day/age-calculator.php

Use the menu in the left hand pane.

Good luck. you don't list your OS but the "Power Calculator" XP powertoy might be what you are after:

I'm not sure if it works in Vista- it should.

Solve : Custom built PC?

Answer»

Hi,
i Built a new PC parts are as follows
Windows 7 64Bit
1 TB HDD
LG optic drive
intel core i5 cpu
6GB ddr3 RAM
i5 motherboard
9800GTX video card
Neo Phoenix case

originally the PC was restarting on its own Very frequently. come to find out the motherboards was bad, i replaced it and it was all working fine until the PC would lock up or restart once a week. and when ever i restart my PC it gets stuck in the bios load SCREEN and have to hit Ctrl ALT Del anywhere from 1 to 5 times to get it to boot. Im not sure what is causing this, Any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanksAlthough unlikely you may have been unlucky enough to run into 2 bad boards in a row...whose BOARD is this ? ?

And is the PSU new or used ...specs on it ? ?The MOTHER board is from tigerdirect.com ( Intel DP55WB Socket LGA1156 Motherboard )and the PSU is a OCZ Fatal1ty Series 700W Power Supply

I was hoping it wasnt the moather board this TIME but that would explain the restarts. just wondering why it doesnt boot with out restarting it a bunch of times.

In that picture, your cpu is not showing "100/100" usage.

In that picture, your cpu is not showing "100/100" usage.

I noticed that too. I was trying to figure out where that number came from. Perhaps he added the numbers together? (50+49+1), but the system idle process doesn't actually count.

Black.dream, were you doing anything else on the computer when you took that screen shot? Copying anything? Searching for something?

And can you give the specs on your computer?Sustained 50% cpu usage for explorer.exe is high; it could be a number of things from hung or badly written apps to a malware infection. Playing badly encoded AVIs can leave explorer in this state.

Solve : A problem with access to certain features on the CH forum?

Answer»

soybean, i cannot remember what the ISSUES were i was having at the time.However the issues whatever they were only occurred after the installation of firefox. It may well have been that at the time i did not create firefox as the "default". In fact i tend to think NOT. I only accessed it by demand. maybe it's time to revisit that option. THANKS for your input. truenorthYes, I think you should try Firefox again. If you have issues with it, post your questions in the forum, which I'm sure you would do.

Installing another browser and not making it the default browser does not cause problems as far as any of your browsers are concerned. But, the default browser is the one that responds to certain calls for a browser response. For example, if you use Outlook Express or some other email client on your computer for email and you click on link in an email to a website, whichever browser is set as default is the one that will open. Likewise, if you use Word or another word processor and have hyperlinks in such files, clicking on them will result in the default browser being opened.

So, to COMPLETELY switch to using a different browser, you should set it as default. Normally, you will be prompted to choose whether to set a browser as default when you install it. But, if you elect not to make it the default browser at that time, you can easily do so later.

And, keep in mind, you can open and use multiple browser at the same time as long as your computer has enough memory. With my Vista laptop, I have Firefox and Chrome installed and, of course, IE is also installed. At the moment, I have Chrome set as default. Before that, I had Firefox set as default. And, again, I can open 2 or more at the same time but normally only have one open. Soybean, I have long believed that you along with quite a few other stalwarts of the CH forums need to be paid attention to when advice is proffered. So to that end I'm currently responding to your last post on the computer with the previous drop down CH forum post menu issue. It is now associated with Firefox 3.6 (latest version and very nice LOOKING) The full features of the drop down menus are now available. I did select the Firefox default browser when offered as well as the transfer of the items from IE.
I notice a feature here in Firefox that was not present in IE on the CH forums. A notoriously bad speller i relied heavily on the "spell check" of the post in the CH. However i now see that i am being prompted from within the message composition to address errors. Neat!Thank again,truenorthQuote from: soybean on May 01, 2010, 09:01:58 AM

Sorry, but this is absolute non-sense. There's absolutely no need to remove IE if you install another browser. Installing a browser other than IE does not cause "CONFLICT issues". Just set one browser as default.
Agreed. I have at least 3 browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera) on every system I use.I have at least 6 or 7 installed for testing web sites. The only conflict I've had recently is with Maxthon...it gets rather demanding if you don't let it be the default browser.

No, you can select multiple folders in Explorer or in search results and RIGHT click one or all of them them and then select Better File Rename if you have allowed that program to add its entry to the context menu.


The normal procedure of clicking on then first, holding down SHIFT and clicking the last to select a whole group did NOT work.Quote from: Sebastian42 on April 26, 2010, 12:04:29 PM

You cannot do this in Windows Explorer?



I do not understand your "did NOT work". This is a bad way to describe a problem on a forum. Please SAY exactly what happened. Otherwise we may think the problem is you.

1. Click first folder, then shift-click last folder

2. Right click ensemble of folders, choose Better File Rename



3. or control-click desired folders

4. Right click one of these folders, choose Better File Rename

In Windows Explorer I CAN do it. I was trying to select the folders (for renaming) in Better File Renamer, THAT is where the group from the first to the last folder selected did not become selected/highlit when I held SHIFT down. Did you try CTRL+down ?I did not try CTRL down, because that normally adds only one ITEM at a time.
I'm trying to get AWAY from doing it 'manually'. BULK renaming is the aim.Quote from: Sebastian42 on April 27, 2010, 09:11:27 AM

have you BEEN unable to use WINDOWS explorer to SELECT a group of FOLDERS and then right click THEM and use the better file rename option AS suggested by Salmon Trout?I have not tried to work from both Explorer AND Better File Renamer. I have tried to select the folders in Better File Renamer. It sounds WEIRD, but if it works ..... I better have another try.Quote from: Sebastian42 on April 27, 2010, 09:57:31 AM

The idea is, you select them first, in Explorer, then you send them to Better File Rename by right click/context menu. What's so hard about that?
It doesn't sound hard at all, it just never occured to me to use Explorer AS WELL as the renaming program. Quote from: Sebastian42 on April 28, 2010, 04:48:23 AM
It doesn't sound hard at all, it just never occured to me to use Explorer AS WELL as the renaming program.

Many, many programs which perform operations on files work this way, either by default or as an option. Why bother re-inventing the wheel when Windows already has a (reasonably) good file/folder selection program?
Why indeed ? By next week I should have been able to try it out, and will report back. Indeed, I was able to select a group of folders and in their context menu find
'Better File Renamer'. That makes this software suitable; and maybe the same applies to programs I tried before I first posted my question. Thank you.
