    Hi Mark,

    I don't personally recommend using any registry cleaners. Those can easily cause damage if used wrongly.

    Blade,
    No doubt good advice. I've run it in the past and have been lucky, but as even jvPowerTools16 says in its manual - this is an Axe, so wield it carefully!

    I'm good to go on this end - thanks once again for all your help and saving me for another day! I'll pass along the good word.

    Mark

    Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad I could help.

    Note:If it has been five days or more since your last post, and the helper assisting you posted a response to that post to which you did not reply, your topic will not be reopened. At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a fresh HijackThis log and a link to your previous thread.

    If it has been less than five days since your last response and you need the thread re-opened, please send me or MOD a private message (pm). A valid, working link to the closed topic is required.
