Geting "not responding" errors and Quicktime errors

[linsjean]

I downloaded and installed PC Cleaner Pro and it found 5,575 problems. I went to register to fix the problems, but they want money. I do have CCleaner but was always afraid to mess with the registry. Any ideas how to fix the slow performance, "not responding" errors and QT errors. Also Avast has been giving me some problem like a red X through the icon on bottom bar.

I use CC cleaner (free version) and have never run into issues when clearing the registry. I have my computer setup frequent system restore points. When you clean the registry in CC cleaner, it gives you an option to save a copy of the current registry config (incase you mess stuff up). What I do is this. If I have made significant changes (firmware updates, driver updates, hardware changes), I keep a copy of the registry file. But if it's routine registry cleaning, then I don't. Haven't run into a problem yet.

Thank you! I used CCleaner this morning, and I did back up the registry. I will see how things work now

No problem. An additional recommendation is to organize where your files go and to remove outdated/unwanted copies. This way you know what is what, and where it is. Makes your life so much easier when you need to repair or find files to not have 36 copies of the same file...

Assuming that you are running Win7, I would uninstall Avast and any other 3rd party security app.

Download this free suit from Microsoft install make and configure. make also a security Boot cd and run it.

Security essential is a free Security suit from Microsoft its free updates it self through the OS AutoUpdate and as Good as any of the 3rd party apps.

Its works better with Windows and does Not contribute to the General software "Crap" as some of the 3rd party apps do.
