I have just installed this great tool on another computer and I have run
into my first problem.
I ran the Registry Cleaner, chose special selet to highlight just the safe
entries but when I hit Remove, nothing happened except that the dark blue
highlight to the chosen entries turns light beige. I tried this numerous
times, same result. Nothing in the help files on this. I assume the Mr. JV
is not supporting this any longer.

My OS is XP Home SP2. I used to use jv16 (v1.3.0.195) regularly for registry cleaning.
IIRC, the problem that you describe was a known bug that was never fixed before going shareware.
It happened to me fairly often, enough for me to eventually look for another solution.
I'm using RegSeeker now.

Hi Allan, that wasn't the answer I was hoping for.... truth can be like
that. I will take a look at RegSeeker for that computer. Any words of
caution on its use?? Thanks, Lar

I use both cleaners on XP pro Larry, here is how I use RegSeeker.
RegSeeker http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
RegSeeker is a perfect companion for your Windows registry!
RegSeeker includes a powerful registry cleaner and can display various
informations like your startup entries, several histories (even
index.dat files), installed applications and much more! With RegSeeker
you can search for any item inside your registry, export/delete the
results, open them in the registry. RegSeeker also includes a tweaks
panel to optimize your OS! RegSeeker is FREE for personal use only!
95/98/NT4/ME/2000/XP/2003
My personal use, is to, delete only the Green entries.
Click on Select All and choose > Select all Green items.
Right click on a Green item to delete all Green files.
RegSeeker is also very good for registry searching, click on > Find in
registry, tick all the boxes in > Keys, put a word ( example AOL ) in >
Search for: & click > Search. Now you have a list on one page, of all
the registry entries for AOL.

Hi Larry,
As jmatt has already posted, just deleting the green entries should be perfectly safe.
I've become even less aggressive than that with registry cleaning.
I use RegSeeker primarily for searching, so as to remove any traces of uninstalled applications.

Good advice, John. I use it like you do.
I only use RegSeeker for finding specific keys to clean out one program.
I've never heard that general cleaning of the registry is a good idea.

This computer is one at work in which an employee was recently fired. He had
tons of personal programs on there and compared to other employee's
computers, this one is dog slow. The unnecessary programs have been removed
properly, spyware and adware removed, but it is still slow. I was hoping to
do the registry cleaning before I defraged. Any other advise??
I am no IT person, just like to help out in a small office. Once the above
actions are taken, in my experience it is likely that it will still be slow.
What causes Windows to bog down like this? If not the registry, then what,
unnecessary remnant dll's? I have heard that that can be quite the slippery
slope.

You still hav'nt told us the operating system. Cleaning the registry
can get zip back into a comp, but some operating systems are fickle.
When suggestions are made, let us know what action you have taken.

23 Ways To Speed WinXP Without Defrag www.techbuilder.org/recipes/59201471
While it was true that defragmenting helped older PCs, it no longer
applies. Today we have 7200-RPM (rotations per minute) hard-disk drives
with improved seek and latency times; many also contain an 8-MB cache
buffer. Let's not forget Windows XP's ultra-efficient NTFS (NT File
System). For PCs, servers, and workstations equipped with these
innovations, defragmenting no longer makes much improvement, if any, to
system performance.
Complete defrag.
Turn off Pagefile, reboot & go into Safe Mode & defrag.
Reboot & turn Pagefile back on.

To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps:
1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your
keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple
operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you the Boot Menu
appears.
2. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and
then press ENTER.
3. When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear
in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start,
and then press ENTER.

It will be either registry, apps / program conflict or infection.
