Since 2007 I have been a Macecraft's customer.
I have two computers, both with Win-XP-Sp3. The first with Jv16-v2012, and v2011 on the second one
(a notebook). No trouble in any way. I updated the notebook to Jv16PT-2014 v3.2.0.1351
I did
1. I restored the full backup Win-Xp-Sp3 S.O. (True Image Acronis)
2. Few days later, I uninstalled Jv16 2011 (Revo Uninstaller) and installed the new Jv16 2014 version.
Immediately I ran Registry Cleaner.
So, after restored, the operating system has been scanned for the first time.
Jv16PT-2014 did not find any error (unbelievable?), and reported 80% registry health.
3. I ran Registry Compactor because, after the Cleaner option, I thought "there are no errors, registry is
not 100%, a compaction will help"
As Jv16 ran compaction I saw some DOS windows on the screen, too short to read, one or two seconds
not more. Really it seems that Jv16 was telling some kind of errors to me.
Anyway Jv16 completed the work without any problem (apparently),
I also used in the past compaction without any problems
4. I reboot the computer and while the S.O. has been loading I had signs of malfunction. A windows said "ATI video catalyst control center damaged" In fact I got wrong colors, some images square shots. I missed wifi connection and the network setting had disappeared.
5. I did not ran any function between Jv16-2014 Registry Cleaner and Registry Compactor (see #2 #3)
My opinion was that the registry has been corrupted and I did not do any further test.
I did not thought to the backup taken by Registry compactor. I'm sorry I forgot this option.
6. I restored the operating system (Acronis) and I installed the Jv16PT-2013 v3.0.0.1267. At first ran it
found 310 registry errors (see #2).
7. Probably, this time, as per Murphy's law "If registry could be corrupted it will happen"
