Simple clear advice in plain English

Why has my new Uniblue software failed after working for a month?

There is no apparent reason for the failure of Uniblue's software that we can see, other than a possible conflict with another, more recent download or PC upgrade

Registry Booster website
Uniblue's Registry Booster cleans and defragments Windows' Registry

I have a problem with Uniblue’s Registry Booster, System Tweaker and Power Suite, which I bought a month ago. I downloaded the software but the programs worked for less than a fortnight before they all failed with the message 'Uniblue Product has encountered a problem and needs to close'.

I am then requested to send an error message report, which I have always done. But I have never received any response from Uniblue. I tried re-downloading from my original orders, but with the same results.

It is difficult to know what is causing the problem in this case because if the software hadn’t downloaded successfully, the programs wouldn’t have worked for two weeks initially.

This also means that there doesn’t seem to have been a compatibility problem with other software unless Mr Kay upgraded existing software on his PC or downloaded additional software during this time and this has caused problems.

It is wise to remember that these notices to send error reports back to a software firm, while useful for the company, are of no use to the consumer. People will not receive feedback from these reports because they are just used to gauge error rates – what the problems are and where they may be present.

We have emailed Mr Kay and asked him if he has attempted to contact Uniblue customer services or technical support directly about this issue.

We have also asked whether he has downloaded any other software that might possibly have caused a software conflict.

We have contacted Uniblue and asked it to get in touch with us and also to get hold of Mr Kay to see if it can resolve this issue and find out what may be causing the failure of the software.

As yet we have not heard back from the company, so we will update you as soon as we do.

Hi, We would like to reach out to you so as to solve this problem. Unfortunately we checked our system and while we found Mr.Kay we couldn't find any requests made to our customer care team by him. We need details to solve this issue therefore it would be great if Mr.Kay could file a support request at the following address with as many details as possible. If this has been done then please quote the support ticket number you receive by email when filing a ticket it should start with LTK .... .http://www.uniblue.com/support/contactform/ Our support team would be more than happy to resolve this.

uniblue is fake

uniblue is fake software, it gets onto your system claiming you have lots of problems, and if you buy the software it will be fixed. Rule one to spot a scam: If the product includes the words 'registry cleaner' it is a scam.

BIG BLUE

Like Mr. Kay I installed Uniblues SpeedUpPC ??? and on installing the problems began. Error messages, lost CD/DVD driver. I contacted Uniblue and eventually aked when it was suggested I purchase their full system... for which I asked for a discount on having already paid for one item in the series, got a response that, in short if I followed their email I would get a refund inside 7 working days. All emails to them since have been ignored, no refund to PayPal and a computer that worked perfectly before is now next to useless.
