    Incorrect system information displayed


    I ran CCleaner and selected the following extra options (DONT ASK ME WHY! ) in addition to the standard selection:

    DNS Cache
    Old prefecth data
    Window size/location cache

    My laptop now seems to be confused where the decimal should be when showing hard drive space and memory. Its an old laptop with 2GB memory, which now shows 200GB RAM. All drives also show incorrect values in explorer as follows:

    C: 487GB free of 448GB
    D: 154GB free of 453GB
    F: 807GB free of 578GB

    The values do however appear correct in Disk Management as follows:

    C: 4.84GB free of 44.88GB
    D: 15.44GB free of 45.35GB
    F: 8.08GB free of 57.82GB

    I've attached screenshots for further reference.

    Any suggestions how to fix this please?

    Welcome to the forum

    Go into the control panel and open "Region and Language" and click on "Additional settings". Be sure that the "Decimal symbol" and "Digit grouping" do not use the same character. I don't know what the conventions are in the UK. Using the same character can confuse applications, including some by Microsoft, and produce strange results.

    Thanks for your prompt response! I do not have access to any regional/language settings for some odd reason.
