Today's the day I guess. I have never had Regclean not finish on a bunch of machines of different types and problems. This friends machine goes through all scans until about 90% of the "Type Library" scan and just hangs. I left it for 10 minutes and it was still stuck. 3 finger to cancel.

I went to a previous registry date, re-booted and tried it and got the same result. I tried it in safe mode and with msconfig set to load almost nothing in standard mode.

She has a handheld scanner that was acting odd so she called and when I got here it took her machine about 4 to 5 minutes to boot to full Windows. The delay was once the Windows splash started. The HD sounded like it was grinding hamburger while loading drivers.

Once up and running she hadn't noticed I guess but the things slower than molasses.

At any rate I scandisked, defragged (both completed) and RegClean justs stops. Any ideas or has anyone ever seen RegClean not finish?

Oh, I also deleted and installed a clean RegClean.exe
