About JV Powertools 1.4.1.248 / 2006

Dear Macecraft,

First of all i would like to thank you for making this great and best ever software voor computer maintenance.

I work with computers for over 30 years now. Using Windows Servers as well as XP versions.

Your software is the best in cleaning. And i know this cause i have done a windows registry study in the past.

However i have some critical questions if i may ask.

What i am using for years now (Even works on Windows Server 2003 )

Is JV Powertools Version 1.4.1.248

Now i was so used to the User Interface. This is simple / fast en just very handy cause of using the mouse on the buttons.

Then one day i tought lets test the 2006 version. And i am sorry to say (ofcourse this is very personal opinion) but i could not get used to the interface like i did with version 1.4.1.248.

Then 2 questions come up:

1. Is it still (Safe) to use version 1.4.1.248 even with all those new Windows Service Pack changes in XP and 2003?

i mean, does the registry cleaner still in this year 2006 know what to remove and what to skip?

-> Again i have till (untill this day) not seen any error yet. (This again shows how great your software engineers are!

- But if you are telling me it is not safe to use the old version (which i so mutch like) anymore well than i think i have no other option in then using 2006 or maybe only RegSupereme for the registry part.

i still hope jv version 1.4.1.248 will work on windows xp or 2003 till Vista comes cause i can not realy believe it will 'know' the Vista registry as correct as with the 2003 / XP OS. Correct me if i'm wrong please.

(Cause, if i can keep using this version on Vista with this interface would mean a lot to me, alltough i can believe it is to mutch to ask)

A tip for maybe the 2007 release, would me great to have the handy UI of version 1.4.1.248. It just is faster and more intuitive (In my opinion)

Thank you for reading and hope alltough my englisch is not native i make some sence hehe

Greatings ( A happy User )

Well, designing an user interface all, or even most users, would like is very difficult, almost impossible. Some like it graphical, some minimal, some with MP3 sound effects, animaitions and skins, some with only gray buttons.

The user interface of PT 1.4.1 was a bit too non-standard, that's why it was changed for PT 2005. That, and also the 1.4.1's user interface couldn't hold any more icons.

Frankly, I don't know whether it is still safe to use PT 1.4.1, I would guess yes at least on XP, but most likely no on Vista. This is because Vista's registry contains quite a lot of data by default which looks like errornous but isn't, these items must be handled correctly by a registry cleaner and I doubt whether PT 1.4.1 can (PT 2006 can, btw).

Dear jv16,

Thanks for your reply.

I also found that RegSupreme found 5 more items in the registry than the 'old' jv16 1.4.1

I think i will buy the regsupreme it is more up 2 date finding things in the reg i gues.

Anyway thanks for letting me know it is still safe to use jv16 1.4.1 for the standard cleaning of the registry and cleaning .bak etc files.

I will test regsupreme a bit better cause it finds more reg errors than the one in 1.4.1.

Thanks again :)
