Hi draconas,

 

I am not sure if win7 64-bit Registry is the same as win 7 32-bit.

 

All my below suggestions are valid for Windows 7 32-bit.

 

Please do not change anything in the Registry before we are sure of anything.

 

Open Registry Editor by typing regedit to Run... in Windows Start Menu.

 

Chek the below entries if any of those Registry Keys exist:

 

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SmartDefragBootTime\MFTList

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SmartDefragBootTime\PageFileList

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SmartDefragBootTime\SystemFileList

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\SmartDefragBoot Time\MFTList

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\SmartDefragBoot Time\PageFileList

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\SmartDefragBoot Time\SystemFileList

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SmartDefragBootTime\MFTList

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SmartDefragBootTime\PageFileList

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SmartDefragBootTime\SystemFileList

 

Please write me the existing Registry Values for the below ones if they include,

'autocheck autochk * SmartDefragBootTime.exe'

or

'autocheck autochk *'

at the end of them:

 

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute:

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute:

 

 

Cheers.

oddly enough i went into the windows scheduler and it was in there, i deleted it and tried again, never came back

[enoskype]

draconas, I am glad that it is solved.

 

Still, checking the registry is valid.

 

Cheers.

So, to make sure I understand the problem?

 

Both the 'time scheduler' and 'bootup scheduler' need to be Disabled Before SD is Uninstalled or a New version is Installed, correct?

 

So actually they need to be disabled or removed by the Uninstall routine?

[enoskype]

I think you are right Toppack.

 

I wish we could have the info I have requested!

 

Cheers.

Would running a Registry-Cleaner utility, such as the one in 'Toolbox' utilities, Help to remove those registry entries left behind by an Uninstall?

Hi Toppack

As far as I see the "problem" I think it is the often mentioned case of not fully closing down the program before running the uninstall.

It is easy to forget to close down the automatic functions one has activated.

This possible problem is also mentioned in Usage of IObit Products :-)

I'm sure you could fix this problem with a Resistry-Editor utility, if you knew what to delete or change, but I'm wondering if a Registry-Cleaner utility would Help?

I'm not sure how the Resistry-cleaner works?

[enoskype]

Hi Toppack,

 

I have not tried it, but I don't think registry cleaners tend to change anything at that part of the Registry.

It is too risky!

 

Cheers.

[draconas]

that was my first thing to try was a registry cleaner, there was nothing left from it since i used an uninstall program that also looked for left over registries.

 

it wasn't running when i removed it either

[enoskype]

Hi draconas,

 

Why don't you check the registries I have pointed out in my post, #2 in this thread before amd inform us?

 

Cheers.
