"Reassure the chicken"

no amount of reassuring is going to make it all better if you run regcleaner and it screws everything up.

the other step i left out of my previous post regarding removal of NAV is the back up step. i always make a full system image (i like powerquest's DriveImage) so that if everything goes to pieces i can be back where i was within three minutes.

that is an amazing safety net, and better than any reassuring i can do. whatever net you are using, put it in place... make your back ups.

that said i will tell you that RegCleaner ( vtoy.fi ) is an awesome utility to keep in your tool kit. it has never ever let me down and i can't for the life of me think of anyone who has ever been damaged by it. quite the opposite, it keeps you out of trouble.

regcleaner's author has released a more potent version called called jv16 PowerTools ( vtoy.fi ) that some folks on the cl thread are using. i can't speak for it, however, as i am very confident in regcleaner and haven't felt compelled to migrate to the stronger stuff. <g>

if you go the regcleaner route, take note of the sequence of steps i laid out for using it... it might help.

good luck
