I haven't used it Des.
I would take out the 90 day trial first, if no good dump it. There are others out there that will do it for free. On saying that, you don't know what information gathering the free ones are doing! There is never such a thing as a free lunch

Any advice on which others are any good cos the windows one care is proving hard to subscribe to over the net but you can buy a voucher for it from PC World i believe

There is a few out there you don't have to pay for if it is for home use.
The father-in-law has one that is a one click scan and repair and is free for home use only. I'll ask him what it is. I should know as I put it in
If you ask a 12 people you will get 12 answers as to what is the best 
What are you running, Xp, vista? |

Have a look at Advanced WindowsCare Personal
If you want to try it or read the reviews. There is also a small film on the page. Not an all singing all dancing one, but it gets good reviews. Or you could try this one, bit more complicated and not free, though it keeps working but no updates at the end of the trial period. But don't rush to put something in as there will be others along with other suggestions. I did use the first one without any problems for a while. For some reason, I don't have it now 
Be careful what you try, some you are better without! |

I use that BoB, and it's very fast, and very good.

Did it not create a safe restore point before it ran a repair scan?
Most of these thing do. Look for a restore feature in the programme. You should do a restore point in windows before running these as well. You paid money

Yessssssss, is that a bad thing, could i have got the same program for free  ..
Thanks for advice though on the restore feature, everything working fine again

No, companies have to make money somewhere.
But you could have got Advanced WindowsCare Personal for FREE if it were for personal use. |

Oh well, though as i do use it for work & pleasure i dont really mind paying for it as long as it works, which it now does ....
