Hi George, I recommend Registry Mechanic from http://www.pctools.com. It is not free, but it does the job well, and my Sage is still working <Smile>. Regscrub is free, and it shows. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: 17 August 2007 15:09 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: when I tried to run Regscrub XP to remove those Freedom Scientific products MSN turned up on my system. Why should this be? I'd be just a shade careful with RegscrubXP. I just downloaded it and it found quite a few errors which I told it to fix. After that, my Sage accounts program would not run. Thankfully I was able to restore, but I won't be using that program again in a hurry.

Why should this be? Hi Peter, Thank you for clarifying that regscrub XP does not install anything, however, I still think that if I had not run the program I would not necessarily have been prompted to install MSN, because it may not have been seen by the computer. I do think that although regscrub XP did not install MSN, it may have cleared a problem which had stopped MSN from installing therefore, when I rebooted, MSN was available to be installed, which it had not been before, but I am still rather surprised that the MSN installer appeared and I would like to know why it may have appeared. her Alexander Shannon ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
