Software Update: jv16 PowerTools 2009 1.9.0.580

Macecraft Software released version 1.9.0.580 of jv16 PowerTools 2009 on Monday. This program is intended to tweak all kinds of things within Windows. For example, there are modules to determine which programs are started when Windows boots and you can search for duplicate files. Furthermore, the registry can be cleaned of unnecessary keys and made smaller, which has a beneficial effect on the performance of Windows. In this release we find several bug fixes and minor changes, including improved support for 64bit operating systems. The full changelog for this release looks like this:

The updated version contains the following changes.

• Improved the Debug Log system to show more information about the product.
• Improved the internal safety mechanisms of the product to make sure problems like the invalid backup creation of the build 550 will not ever occur again.
• Fixed a bug that caused PowerTools to sometimes get stuck on an eternal window refresh loop.
• Fixed a bug that caused Registry Compactor not to be 100% compatible with 64 bit versions of Vista or XP, it now is. If you have used the feature in these systems, there is no need to worry, nothing went wrong, you only might have not compacted all the possible registry storage files.
• Improved the compatibility of the product and 64 bit versions of Windows. The program can now be fully used under 64 bit OS. Only remaining problem is that under 64 bit OS the Directory Selection used in many tools does not work properly.
• Added more options to Registry Cleaner’s Advanced Options tab.
• Improved the way the Registry Cleaner shows information when removing data and scanning.
• Fixed a bug that caused the program sometimes not to display the list of available translations in the Quick Tutorial.
• Fixed a cosmetic bug that caused the Tools menu of the main window not to be updated if user changed the program’s language.
• Improved the quality of the error fixing features of the Registry Cleaner, this means that the program is now able to more accurate find errors and fixes for them, and not only delete the invalid data.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Registry Manager to show empty Open With Menu and Search Menu lists under Windows XP.
• Fixed a bug that caused SafetyNetV2 error(s) to be shown during a registry scan.
• Improved the way the program uses Windows Task Bar, now all the main program windows are listed in Windows Task Bar to allow individual windows to be minimized and restored easily.
