Please help.
jv16 unable to clean up
You should be able to just download it and install it over the curent version, if that doesn't work, uninstall and then reinstall.
Are any other applications running at the same time? What antivirus product do you use?
Could you verify from the Help>About window what version of the product you are using?
Downloaded and tried with trial version of RegSupreme: same result, when I click on CHECK all nothing happens.
Please give me a better alternative.
I finally found a workaround for eliminating the errors : checking the ALL box while the program is working gets at the end all the error lines checked;then clicking repeatedly on DELETE eliminates them effectively. But it is not a painless work, you have to do it a number of times and for reasons I do not understand doing this evokes a every time regedit!
I am running the latest version. Any ideas as i don't want to get my registry clogged up with unnecessary items.

ymv13 wroteI have just installed Vista Home Premium on a new unused hard drive and JV16's Reg cleaner does not clear out the items it identifies. What ever I do, I still have 799 entries whenever I run the cleaner.

Could you please the jv16 PowerTools 2007 Beta2? You can download it from: http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1719
Running it could make a difference since it now shows the error messages received from the Windows core if for example registry key cannot be removed, the previous versions of PowerTools didn't show that.
I've uninstalled 2006 version and installed the Beta. Had to move my licence to the beta file as said my trial had expired! Assume that was the correct thing to do.
It still won't delete anything, saying that access has been denied. I am running it as the administrator so can't see why that would be.

I don't know the reason why, but that access denied error is coming directly from Windows, there's nothing jv16 PowerTools can do about it.
This is most likely some kind of compatibility issue between PT and Vista, or Vista has some user restrictions to registry even if you are running as the administrator.
Removal failed for some routine (for PT) items. I looked at some permissions and the items had "Deny" checked for user "Everyone." I unchecked the box and the items could then be removed.
This was either a bug in the Beta or overenthusiastic security policy by Microsoft Vista folks. There were other major irritations involving use of regedit.
I don't intend to test further until I get a non-beta version of Vista (perhaps late 2007 or early 2008).
In the meantime, I will just continue to use XP Pro.
