Just thought I'd post here, in case anyone else runs into the problem and is looking for a fix. The solution is to look through your task manager, and remove any programs that aren't being used, it's an extremely useful thing to do. Of course, be sure what you're removing, you wouldn't want to stop a vital process from running, that could cause no end of difficulties. *grin*

For example, during a clock sync the power dropped off and the router died. I got it back every thing was out of sync, windows was alegal, everything wouldn't open and everything was screaming at me. It was waterfox that alerted me to the fact everything was backwards and pointed me at my clock, which I changed. Then everything worked. But the messages stayed, and I had to tell action centre to ignore them till they died. On a similar note, notifications can report a problem, but in a criptic way and after I have found and solved it. I was upgrading one of my security/ backup programs. And immediately I got a notification that I was unsafe, recomending a full reset and reformat. I was aware the thing was broken, and continued updating. After this, I had to clear things. I have had it say for example that I am using pirated windows, and my accounts are not signing in and that a whole host of things are screwed and that I should reset or something. Yet when I have logged into where I need to go to check, not only are they not showing no problems but checking on the server side shows that they never existed. Or existed for such a little time it didn't matter. The only time that its ever really worked was when I was updating a business server for my uncle and the system kept crashing, at that time, windows put up the usual video card issue with the drivers crashing out. A small note put that it was a bug with the driver, and to open a website for instructions, where I found the manufacturer had added to the action note that I needed a new driver and got a direct link to it. But that was before things got weird. Now, I do glance at notifications centre just like I would glance at the paper, but 99.9% of the time I just clear them, in most cases its fixed, not a problem or if it is, I can handle it without any issue.

Re: ccleaner servey
To offer an alternative, even if updating has seemed to stop completely, I suggest Puran utilities. It does everything C Cleaner does and it even provides an accessible Revo uninstaller alternative. The download link is below. Bleachbit is the only open source alternative but it is not accessible at all, to NVDA or JAWS.

Re: ccleaner servey
One thing though, you get your ccleaner ini file big enough its going to slow down the engine my theory is it needs to read and run everything.

Re: ccleaner servey
Who knows they had issues before that, for me they were fine till about 3.2.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I really used to like ccleaner for what it is. The only reason I don't replace it is that the feature set is good and the interface mostly works. In fact for those that don't mind a bit of extra work even with the portable I would still recomend it as a good contender. Sadly, without my ini file or a bit of sighted help to set the interface its pritty much useless. Even if you take the interface out, I can't trust the installer, access wize, interface excluded if they can get some settings screens working, heck excluding things if I make changes to the ini file I expect something I make to stay and thats it really. For my users though I don't want them to run my stuff I have had people get into all sort of reformatting trouble after doodling round with my stuff, my tools I trust them but I can use them. CCleaner was good once it still is if you know what you are doing, but if you don't then it may or may not have the clout in my view it once did.

Strange proglem when exiting NVDA Portable Version.
prem.translator@...
Dear All,
I have two NVDAs in my laptop, one is the installed version, and the other is portable. The following is my situation. When I run the installed version, there is no problem when pressed NVDA+q to exit. However, when I run the portable one, I cannot exit using the same command, NVDA will always restart itself. The only way to exit the portable version is to press CTRL+ALT+n to run the installed one. Below is the log containing the error. Please help me, Thank you.
