You are welcome! As with x86, don't use the optimazation Wizard for your internet connection. Invariably it borks things. I have always used it as a primary reg cleaner.

I don't know, try it out! I know when I tried the old version on 64 bit and did a clean up it removed my defrag options.

I would doubt it. It took a long time to develop for x64. Vista keeps changing. I wouldn't use it on Vista unless you are prepared to reimage/reinstall.

Wow! I haven't tried TuneUp since Win 98. From the above posts it doesn't sound like its ready for primetime.(they were sold around the time XP came out)
On the other hand, since that time, I have used jv tools and the recent "encarnations" of jv powertools 200X for over a year with winxp64 and with great success. Not only has jv powertools not pooched my machine it has fixed and kept it cleaned and in fine shape. Thats right . It worked so good I paid for it. That doesn't happen very often with me. shhhh don't tell anyone. They don't claim any 64-bit anything. It works for me :smoke:
