CCleaner came up with about a hundred reg faults.
Regvac zoomed in with about six-hundred!

I was amazed!!

though CCleaner is a good tool.

Defragler is also a good'un.

When you have that many you should always backup your registry before fixing or deleting them.

It's so interesting playing SH3 once more. When the game first came out, there was great excitement followed by frustration as the significant bugs in the game became obvious. The patches were then released, and by the time we got to 1.4 the game was very playable with some careful modding.

I remember that time as being very frustrating. Having to uninstall your mods because a new patch was about to be released. Then waiting for the modders to update their mods to make them compatible with the latest patch.

But as I return to the game now, running it with GWX and Commander, this game is beautiful to play. I prefer it to both of the Silent Hunter games that followed it. It runs very smoothly on my Windows 8 Laptop, and sitting there running the game with my headphones on, it is a very immersive game that's full of atmosphere.

So, the purists may have a hundred reasons why Silent Hunter 5 is better, but I run SH3 at about 75 percent realism and I'm having a ball.

what I noticed jim was that even though regvac picked up around 600 problems it only cleaned about 250. it said that windows wouldn't allow it to clean out the rest. is that because its the trial version?
