You've already gotten an answer in the other newsgroup to which you posted.
Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you
*less* help, not more. See this for why:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm - multiposting

If you have forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use Google
Groups Advanced Search and search for your name.

Short answer: you used a registry cleaner so all bets are off. See this
thread as to why registry cleaners are Bad:

Do a clean install of the operating system or have someone who knows what
they are doing do it for you.

Further questions should be posted in your original thread, not this one.
