The computer is used mostly for creating 3d models and texturing them. I do play some games on it. It is about 6 months old. I guess the main questions are, Is it going to make a difference? Is there a potential it could mess something up?
View 4 RepliesI am reading in this NG and all over the internet that cleaning the registry is a no, no. I am also informed that the registry can/does get all messed up/cluttered with all sorts of stuff, from removed programs, old pointers, etc, over time. So what/how do you fix this if you shouldn't use a registry cleaner???

I have a custom built PC with an OEM vista home premium. After having it run vista for over a year, it has start to slow down alot. Cleaning out the registry, defraging and cleanign the hard drive does nothing so im assuming a fresh vista install will sort it all out. Thing is, will my product key still work as ive heard numerous stories of people being froced to purchase new keys due to vista not recognising their hardware. Furthermore, i have a 1 license version of office 2007 ultimate which was being given away at an extremely low price as a deal with microsoft. Will my office key still work. I have done clean installs on my old xp computer before no problem but now microsoft has introduced strict rules on product keys etc, im not sure
weather its worth the risk on my vista PC.
getting a wireless router and now when i run ccleaner i have noticed it won't clear an IE file named: C:UsersAppdataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporaryInternetFilesContent.IE5DQ1WJL1M109[1]
i checked it out by opening hidden files and folders and it has this: res://CrogramFilesVirginBroadbandWirlessWirelessManagerLOC.dll/oem/109 cannot delete as it won't allow me just keeps saying try again, am i supposed to leave it alone or, if i am supposed to delete how do i. Best is i don't even venture near IE either.
My question is about D: drive. i know d: drive is a recovery image but taht's all i know. does it have OS as well, it's 8 gigs and can it be made to a bootable disk. My pc didn't come with any disks and it came from best buy what ass's you are gateway but i love the pc. The reason i ask is because i want to thoroughly clean my pc and hard drive with the destructive option. to give it that 100% no virus can possibly be on my pc result. i have tried that recovery with disk option before on other pc's and the virus managed to stay some how. My brother taught me that the best way to clean pc's are to,
1. take memory sticks and battery out of pc.
2. turn it on it gives like a flush to the memory stick.
3. put memory and battery back.
4. Turn on put OS (not recovery) disk in and and proceed to install
5. when at hard drive cleaning option choose destructive (yes i know it eliminates the D: drive partition) and proceed for a fresh OS.......
I did to accelerate the start up of Vista did not help at all. = Whether killing services, ditching the sidebar, cleaning up etc. etc. = the startup still takes up to two minutes. As opposed to it, the = shutdown takes only 10 secs. I really do not understand what is wrong = with the start up. As an example, today the usual security updates etc. = from MS installed which required a restart. From the moment the restart = started (shutdown finished in 10 secs) to full availability of the = desktop, it took more than 3 minutes. This is ridiculous. My laptop has = 4MB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz AMD CPU. I think that should be enough to make =

WARNING: only for advanced users who like to clean the registry. Quicksys regcleaner normally $25 free - only 4hrs left from here: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/
Win 7 compatible - have used this and deleted all 1200 entries it found. It makes a backup - been running for several hours and reboots with no probs. Also working fine so far on my Vista x64 and Win 7 x86 installs. After cleaning you need to shut the app. and reopen it for it to find it's backups. (Easy to find them by hand - it can compress them to.7z files, too ). Have used their regdefrag a lot - identical scans and results to the Auslogics and Glary versions- so use whichever defragger you already have. WARNING: not recommended to defrag registry across drives.
Currently using Vista 64 Home Premimum. Can anyone recommend a good registry cleaner? I tried PCTOOLS and it promptly wrecked my registry.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using this program to clean up my registry and it seems to work fine except the errors keep coming back. I can do a scan, clean up all the errors and then shut down and start up and I have a new 20 registry error list and most or all of the errors relate to "bad path for the value" and its windows files that seem to be at fault. I don't understand why Microsoft operating system would create registry errors on a startup, before anything has been installed etc. is RegistryBooster misleading me or what. I am running win7 but it did the same thing on vista home premium so I think the question is valid for this group.

View 7 Replies View RelatedOn my recently deceased computer, I had downloaded a registry cleaner many years ago. It was simply called "Registry Cleaner" and it was freeware.
Looking around the modern internet all the newer registry cleaners are for sale only.
The one had was terrific:
cleaned the registry, uninstalled programs, etc.
I installed a new registry cleaner, RegCure I think, ran it, cleaned like 12k errors, more than I thought I should have, turned off my computer and went to bed. I come back and its acting like windows 2000!
None of the services are working, I can't access the backups I made, and I can't use the system restore because the host program wont respond, or something I ran safe mode and got SOME of the drivers working again, as I thought I would, so it sort of seems my computer has amnesia Does anyone know how I can get more services to work without
reformatting my computer?
I've read in some posts that a registry cleaner isn't recommended for Vista,primarily because some can install malware instead of getting rid of it.
But I've got some issues with Vista and I swear it's from leftover software installations - such as SQL 2008 beta. I don't want to reinstall Vista because it's a pain in the butt. Are there any registry cleaners that are recommended as safe?
I'd like to know if deleting for example the any of the default "devices" registry keys, producing the result of unknown objects in DeviceManager, is there any way to right the system back manually.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has his Vista PC automatically installing an update, then reboots with no prompt before login any user. And that's looped forever. What's strange is it does the same in safe mode.
At present no session can be opened, nor even reached. Nothing seems to be possible.
I'm thinking I could alter/delete the RunOnce entry in the registry but I would either need
- an XP tool that can read a Vista registry from a file on a separate HD (yes, I would take the HD to my PC)
- or a Linux live CD tool (but I'm asking this question on a Linux forum) that could do the same
- or of course any other brilliant idea.
I am trying to add an entry to the registry, but am denied access. I tried running regedit as Admin, no good. I tried logging in as Admin, no good.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMicrosoft recommends using systempropertiesprotection for backing up the registry. Presumably, this backs up the registry to the hard drive. I think that it might be a good idea to have an external backup as well (CD-R). But how can one obtain this from systempropertiesprotection?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy media player 11 kept freezing when i'd try to rip more than 1 cd all of a sudden. I'd reboot then it would be fine again for only 1 cd. So i started reading forums on how to uninstall and reinstall media player. One said i had to delete the entire key from the registry then when i rebooted it would ask me to reinstall. It didn't happen. Now WMP opens and will play music but when i try to rip a cd it says it cannot do it and offers no reason. I'm running 32bit vista ultimate. I've tried the cumulative update for WMP but it says i have a newer version of it installed so it can't continue. Also i wasn't provided with a copy of vista with the computer so i cant reinstall that either can i?
