Advice re: Cleaners and Reg tools

RegSupreme for me. If you don't have a static IP, you can download the free trials again and again and again. http://img67.exs.cx/img67/6112/wink5.gif

 

The RegSupreme line and JV16 are great tools. As for downloading it again and again with a dynamic IP - why not just pay the $12.95? The tools are clearly worth it and that's one Finnish family that has worked hard producing some of the best tools for computers available.

Says it all <vbg>

 

I just run a trial of RegSupreme after reading all the positive reports on it.
I also deleted clean all 159 items.
On first sight I thought jv16 has a better description, also the "red warning" entries were missing in RegSupreme. The next few hours should let me see how reliable "it" can be.

 

Very nice to have this continuing discussion and to be able to follow all the suggestions.

I have downloaded and am checking out the Radsoft XPT.
As per "AJ" there is a remarkable set of tools available and they really do seem to be as promised with a remarkably small footprint and only one registry entry. Uninstall is very easy. The support seems very good. There is a refund option.

Unfortunately the level of computer savvy required to fully utilise and manipulate the tools is mostly beyond me. Half the time the instructions for what the boys at Radsoft obviously regard as simple manouvers may as well be in Cryllic for me!

I will probably continue to try and learn to use the tools in the XPT.

Many of the utilities featured on and off in the pages here also get favourable mentions in their manuals and web pages.

there is a request to use InCtrl5 as a download manager to provide various pathways for XPT tools. Does anybody know this program?

 

InCTRL5 is a program that monitors installations of software. It can run installations under its supervision and create a log file with everything that was changed/added on your computer. XPT comes with a program that can use these log files and reverse the installation proccess. It is very usefull. I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with a download manager. For some reason when I re-installed windows xp on my D harddrive instead of my C XTP quit working. Radsoft has been taking forever to respond to my problems (unusuall of them) I beleive the problem is because there installation includes your registration information and is made to only run on your computer, but it doesn't work right when you delete it and install it on another drive/new computer. Be warned.

 

Thanks AJ.

Do you know where to get InCtrl/
Radsoft suggests it's available all over the net but I can only find it at PCMag.

 

This might be abit cheeky, please dont be affronted.
If any of the mods happen to catch this thread again, I wonder if there is a way, and if enough bods were interested , to set up a forum for Radsoft?

This is of course quite unashamedly self interest! and would obviously require co-operation and interest at a level way above me.

I know I use the other forums here and they are a constant source of interest to me.

I am extremely grateful for all the help I have been offered through the forum especially after literally stumbling and bumbling my way through my first encounter with mal-ware.

I have no doubt that any one who reads my posts will realise I have no commercial relationship with Radsoft!! I apologise if I keep inappropriately banging on about them.

 

Try download.com for InCtrl5

I agree that it would be a nice thing to have Longboard, XPT seem like pretty good people. I bet if wilder emailed them with an offer they would accept it. But who knows.

 

I just paid a visit to Macecraft.com site and the offer is to buy jv16PowerTools and get RegSupreme and RegSupremePro thrown in. $29.95 or just over £16 sterling.
I don't know if all that registry gear is neccessary or not but it could be an incentive to buy.
Read it here; http://www.macecraft.com/brief_pt/

 

InCtrl5 is ONLY available at PCMAG site and nothing else.
I searched another utility (FolderMon) for months and nothing elsewhere...
By the way, I have it on CD: dated 27-01-2002 (about 780 k)
Does it works with XP ? I have 98SE

 

I just realized that PcMag is greedy and turned a freeware into something you have to pay like 6$ for.

Here is a link I found:

* Here is the page I found the link at:

Now I can't get in trouble if PcMag owns its rights *

Here is a program for people without XTP:

OOPS,

Sorry AJohn, thanks but just a couple of hours too late. Had already paid my tithe to PCMag.

Still, good link for anyone else following this thread.
I'll add to favourites for later if I need it.

 

I try not to pay for freeware unless I have to

I just got done re-installing a fresh copy of XP and used InCtrl to install everything on it. Feels good

Some advice to new users of InCtrl5:
Unless you have a very fast computer try not to run anything at all besides InCtrl5 and the installer you are monitoring. Scanning the entire registry can make it seem like it froze up, but if you wait it will finish.

 

Well deleting the backup immediately was a bad job, System Restore saved my skin, of course I knew the risks but I thought just this time.

 

My favorite:RegRun Security Suite

And.....what a service!

It's certainly a multi featured product.

 

Does InCtrl5 work with XP? When I Googled it the old PC Mag article didn't say.

 

Perhaps those with XP can offer comments....but according to the below PC Mag article....XP is not mentioned.

said by PC Mag
"It runs under Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000"

Still fumbling along with Radsoft. Seem to be no problems with INCtrl5 and XP very interseting apps in the XPT to clean up after programmes close using the INCtrl trace.
Have had very understanding and patient e-mail contact with Radsoft developers for ongoing support. A couple of the tools seem to be really astonishing and so far no hangups. Some of them way beyond my ability at present.

From the Radsoft guys it appears that some tools in XPT may be disabled by XPSP2. In terms of watching what might be happening/GUI everything just takes off & is over in a flash. Probably not the best options for tyros like me.

Also have noted that Spy Checker have listed a free Cleaner which looks good but came up on one of my restricted sites: "bravenet". any body got comments?

Still beavering away with the reg tools and erasers

 

Just out of interest;
For any one who made the same boo-boo as me and downloaded EE, I did get a refund. I suspect it was fortunate that i had already uninstalled the app and then requested refund. I had to run a small .exe to generate a "lock-out" code which when supplied to EE allowed the refund.

So far no evidence of any "bombs" left behind.

 

what about registry mechanic 3.0 i have the trial but it wont do much till you buy it am using regseeker now, its free. but reg. mach. 3 seems to be a pretty fair prg. for what i can see that it does.

 

I used to love XPT, but after formating my HD and installing a new copy of windows with a different license XPT no longer works. I cannot get Radsoft to reply to any of my emails and I made sure I did not send them HTML or Attachments. I am now 100 out and no clue what to do. I have been emailing them for a month. I am sorry that I recommended this product as at the time I did not know about there lack of support. I do not understand why they will not respond, and I think the reason XPT will no longer work is something to do with my windows serial because it will install but no apps will run.

I posted at http://www.fluxgfx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=109 also.

Any ideas?
