    After scanning 'issues' with ccleaner, i then select 'fix selected issues', i'm asked if i would like to save a 'backup changes to the registry' (do i do this?). I selected no, from here do i just click 'fix all selected issues'.

    As it's to do with the registry i thought i best quickly check on here before i go ahead.

    Thanks.

    Save a copy in My Documents as any errors can be undone by using that backup.

    Yeh, always best to make a backup when asked. Saves trying to fix something if it goes wrong.
  • Cheers guys, always i quick reply on the techie forum :T

    Then just go ahead and select 'fix all selected issues', right?

    You would have a big job trying to mend the registry. :rolleyes:

    So long as you have the backup then yes, fix 'em all. ;)
