I am running the Ccleaner program but it closes the following is the error
message.
Visual Basic Virtual Machine detected an error condition which was not
handled by the application.

While I strongly advise you to cease using CrapCleaner (for the same
reasons I strongly advise against using any such tool), they have a
forum--http://forum.ccleaner.com/
Since they don't offer one iota of support, that's the best you can do,
assuming you still want to keep this crapware--and crapware it is if it
can't even handle errors properly.

I agree with you completely, Gary. The user should get rid of the junk and
any associated registry keys along with it.

It means just what it says--an error was encountered which was not
handled by the application. Any application is going to throw an error
when it encounters a command or data that "does not compute". Happens
all the time. The trick in coding is to anticipate whenever such an
error could possibly occur and include code to handle it.
For example, I could write a script that would automatically delete all
files in TEMP at startup, telling it to "DELETE C:\Windows\TEMP\*.*"
That would work on 99% of the machines out there, because that really is
where the TEMP environment is located. But what if I have changed my
TEMP environment to D:\TEMP, and because I'm seriously anal, I've also
included a DELTREE C:\Windows\TEMP command at the proper moment in
startup to get rid of the empty TEMP folder that gets automatically
created in the Windows folder, regardless of where the TEMP environment
is. When the program attempts to complete the "DELETE
C:\Windows\TEMP\*.*" command, it can't--there *isn't* any
C:\Windows\TEMP. Error time. And if there isn't any code to handle the
error, you get the report you got (in that particular case, anyway.)
To handle my hypothetical error, I might include code at the beginning
of the script like this:
ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
That tells the program to continue, even if there's an error. To handle
the hypothetical problem above, I would put in code after that Delete
command that says:
IF ERR THEN
ERR CLEAR
(find out where the blasted TEMP files are stored.)
(repeat delete command)
END IF
(No, that isn't very good or accurate coding, above. It's a simplified
example. To do that task I'd first determine where the TEMP files are
supposed to be located and then make sure the path actually existed,
before I even gave the Delete command.)

"The trick in coding is to anticipate whenever such an error could possibly
occur and include code to handle it." Great, Gary and I couldn't have said
this any better myself. Thanks for including a simplified coding example for
everyone to view. It was interesting to me and gives me even more ideas.

Thank you very much for your great explanation. Maybe you can recommend an
other good and simple registry cleaner? The Ccleaner was recommended by the
Popular Mechanic magazine.

What AB said. There is no such thing as a "simple, automatic" Registry
cleaner that is any good. The only tool that is reasonable capable of
cleaning the Registry decently is the person in front of it--providing
that person knows what s/he is doing. Yes, said person might employ any
of a number of tools to help ferret out anomalies, but letting any such
tool decide what to do is folly. If *you* don't know enough to
accurately second-guess the app, then you shouldn't be running it.
You're better off with a cluttered Registry than with a screwed up
Registry.
No, I don't have any recommendations these days. However, while
acknowledging that the wetware component is paramount in such endeavors,
I have used, and continue to use, *old* Norton WinDoctor (2000),
EasyCleaner, and RegCleaner (by Jouni Vuoro.) Plus, on occasion, a
couple of others that I won't even mention for fear you'd try them, <s>.

The registry is a dangerous thing to mess with.
There are absolutely NO good automatic registry cleaners, all it takes is
one mistake, one key incorrectly removed, one .dll determined to be no
longer required and you have a large grey box suitable for use as a boat
anchor, requiring fdisk format and reinstall, with the loss of any and all
information that isnt backed up.
