Hey Vic, Thanks for the explanation of this program it helped me understand it's basic function and the processes it runs one heck of a lot better than just reading the read me file.

I don't know why that happens, but since I use it very rarely, except when I notice that there is sluggishness or crashes on my system, or even what Windows calls hang-ups, I will run it once, and possibly two or three times until I get no problems found. In any case, whether you would like to use it once or twice, I always use the Jaws cursor to move around the window, as this is the easiest for me, instead of trying to guess on the different buttons I'm on. Besides, there are only a few buttons to click on. The first being the "Reg Scrub XP Finds Problems Button", then, if you wish, you can use the Jaws cursor to arrow down to the portion of the window that details the status, where it says files examined, equals a large number, followed by files found and another number, then finally it will say reg scrub xp finds problems equals in process or completed. At this point, you can use the Jaws cursor to go down to the bottom of the window to click on the select all button after the program has completed it's scan. Then, all you have to do is cursor over to the fix selected problems button, and you're good to go. At this point, you might want to use the Jaws cursor to move to the same area where you read the status of the scan, and listen for the large numbers again, as I said above, and especially listen to whether Jaws says reg scrub xp fixes selected problems equals in progress or completed. Once it says that the fixing is completed, then you can just close the program with the alt-F4 command, or run another scan. Like I said, I find it better to run the scan two or three times until the program doesn't find any problems, and although it may seem that the damn thing always finds problems, don't worry, eventually, it will say that there were no problems found. I should note, that even though I outlined the steps to do a scan above, there is one or two caveats, or be carefuls. The first is that I may not be entirely accurate with the word completed, it may say finished, but pay particular attention to the equals and the progress statement, as this will tell you when it's finished. I wish the people who wrote the program would put a sound on the damn program to tell us blinks when it's done, but just like diarrhoea, you never know when it's done until you check for yourself...Don't ask. The last thing I want to mention, is that you should never do these scans too often. While a scan once in a while is a good thing, doing it once a week could ruin your registry in ways that could corrupt your version of Windows and cause it to have to be re-installed. Like I said, I only run it once in a blue moon, and only when I have examined and eliminated all other possibilities, like Jaws corruption, program corruption and when the restore hasn't worked. I always examine the MS Config first to make sure nothing is running that shouldn't be, because sometimes programs, spyware or viruses will install themselves without letting you know, and they will sometimes show up in the MS Config or the Task Manager. Like I said though, run this program sparingly, but when you do, run it well and completely. Victor -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
