NT7 and system enhancement programs

[arbuthnot]

Hi everyone

This probably applies to all similar programs but the one I have is System Mechanic, which is designed to 'Fix & Speed Up Your PC Automatically'. It optimizes the hard disk and checks it for errors, works on the registry, etc.

(It's far from the only one out there - I'd advise anyone to look around - but it seems to do a fairly neat job.)

I remember reading somewhere that I should uninstall NT before running such a program. Is this really necessary? (As you can imagine, it's a bit of a nuisance having to uninstall every couple of weeks).

I saw a thread just now about a problem with NT caused by Windows Check Disk ("NT7 disappears after ChkDsk run") so I thought I'd ask this not unrelated question.

Thanks in advance.

Hello arbuthnot,


Thank you for your post.


In general, I would not recommend to use any sort of program that would attempt to automatically fix/cleanup your filesystem as sometimes these programs cause complications on the filesystem and can corrupt the Windows registry.


In regards to uninstalling NinjaTrader before running this type of program, I do not believe this is necessary.

Thanks for letting me have your thoughts on this, Ryan.

Much obliged.
