Time for some housekeeping

    [list]



  • When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"[/list]

    The above procedure will:

    then :-

    Download and scan with CCleaner
    1. CCleaner installs the Yahoo Toolbar as an option which IS checkmarked by default during the installation.
      IF you do NOT want it, REMOVE the checkmark when provided with the option OR download the toolbar-free or Slim versions instead of the Standard Build.
    2. Before first use, select Options > Advanced and UNCHECK "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours"
      Then select "Cookies"
      Move any cookies you wish to retain, e.g. login cookies, in the left-hand window to the right-hand window by highlighting them and clicking the right arrow in the centre.

    3. Then select the items you wish to clean up.
      In the Windows Tab:

      • Clean all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section.
      • Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section.
      • Clean all entries in the "System" section.
      • Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.
      • Clean any others that you choose.



      In the Applications Tab:

      • Clean all entries in the Mozilla Firefox Section.
      • Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
      • Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
      • Clean any others that you choose.


    4. Click the "Run Cleaner" button.
    5. A pop up box will appear advising this process will permanently delete files from your system.
    6. Click "OK" and it will scan and clean your system.
    7. Click "exit" when done.


    then DEFRAG your C:\ drive.

    to help speed up your system.

    then let us know how the computer is running.

    if you still get the error after rebooting again :-


    MSCTF.dllis related to Ctfmon.exe and is a module which belongs to the Microsoft Text Service Module.

    we haven't removed anything connected to that.

    To prevent Ctfmon.exe from running, follow these steps.

    if you don't use speech recognition or handwriting recognition you don't need it.


    To Remove Alternative User Input Services from Text Services:-

    1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
    2. In the Control Panel, double-click Text Services.NOTE: In Windows XP, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Regional and Language Options. On the Languages tab, click Details.

    3. Under Installed Services, select each input item that is listed, and then click Remove to remove the item. All items must be removed, one by one, except the following input service:
    English (United States)- default Keyboard United States 101
    Step 3: Run Regsvr32 /U on the Msimtf.dll and Msctf.dll Files
    1. Click Start and then click Run.
    2. In the Run dialog box, type the following command:
    Regsvr32.exe /u msimtf.dll
    3. Click OK.
    4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the Msctf.dll file.


    what was the error for XP PRO ?
