Regards to all, this is my first posting and I believe that you will be gentle to me. I am looking for a tool/software that can manage my system registry files. I know that I can get them online but I need to try them before I actually use them so that I can be sure of the results. I have read lot's of reviews and found out that currently, the best registry cleaner on the market is Digeus Registry Cleaner.
View 2 Replieslooking for a god registry cleaner, was using CCleaner but I just upgraded to the latest edition and ran into some problems and had to roll my system back to solve the problems. Found the following review of the major contenders I was thinking about the one by PC Tools seems to be the least expensive I have a coupon and it appears to be highly recommended only thing is I'm thinking about buying a new laptop 64 bit and I'm not sure if they come in different flavors doesn't make any since to purchase one for my XP machine if I can't use it on my new 17 inch laptop I plan on purchasing sometime within the next few months, Also whats the best free or shareware version out there to.
View 11 Replies View RelatedThough my computer has never been what you'd call fast,recently it seems to have slowed down a bit further. Nothing unbearable, just a few seconds of extra lag when opening a program or folder, but enough to catch my attention and prove bothersome.It also wasn't there when I built this computer about a year or so ago, so I feel it must be something I can fix.I run Spybot and Ad-aware fairly regularly, with no results, and also have McAfee to watch for viruses.At the moment I am considering trying a registry cleaner to see if it will help, though I thought it might be better to stop by here first and see if there's something else I haven't tried or thought of first.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have just purchased Registry Mechanic, and am so far disappointed in it. I used to be somewhat technically inclined, back in the days of DOS I ran a computer lab, but I really haven't had time to keep up.
Still, I know more than most people... Anyway, I bought this proggy thinking it would give me a bit more
information than just going into regedit and poking around without a net. So far, it doesn't. I knew it would suggest changes that I would be able to accept/reject one at a time. But the information it gives
is pretty useless for making the decision. And it is not like there is a manual explaining what all this means. Also I am skeptical since it found 106 "problems" and this computer is less than a week old.
Does any kind soul care to comment on a few illustrative examples?
Example 1:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAudioCDshellPlayWithPowerDVDcommand
default = CProgram FilesCyberLinkPowerDVDPowerDVD.exe%1
OK, so this is "High Priority." Very dramatic. And the value is invalid, but the value of what? And the value is set to delete. Should I be wondering whether this value needs to be fixed rather than just deleted? I more or less understand "location"...this is where in the registry the invalid value can be found. But I don't understand "default." Is this the default setting of the invalid value? Is Reg Cleaner proposing to reset the value to the default? What if the system was intentionally configured differently from the default? Am I even asking the right questions? Example 2:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{CC2C83A6-9BE4-11D0-98E7-00C04FC2CAF5]InprocServer32
SystemDB = C:WINDOWSsystem32system.mdw
Again, I get that it is high priority, a value is invalid and should be deleted. Again, not sure if it ought to be fixed rather than deleted. Again, understand location more or less. Not sure what "SystemDB =" is proposing to do. Really not sure what to make of this. Example 3:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCyberLinkPowerDVD
SrcDir = C:FalconDriversDVDPowerDVD 4.0 - Sony Bundle
In looking for examples I've just realized that the soultion in every case is "set to delete." What is SrcDir? What is this telling me?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing internet and 1st time I've received the following pop up - "Registry Cleaner Recommended" with an exclamation mark in side a yellow triangle.It says:"Errors in your Windows registry database, if present, could cause erratic operation and other computer problems, including: Slow system performance, slow start up, freezes/system crashes.Details: to ensure system is operatingly correctly, strongly recommend you scan and clean your Windows registry database by running Registry Cleaner now"May sound silly but this is ad-ware right? Shouldn't Ad-Aware and Avast prevent pop ups like these? Or is there a program that i should download to prevent these?

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy computer has always worked fine until last night i decided to download a registry cleaner and ran it. I also defragged the drive and when i restarted it just kept rebooting. I have now already tried the following:

the problem remains the same i get as far as first screen alerting me that i can push del to enter setup or bios etc. Then the system reboots and starts all over again.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded some Registry cleaner program and I guess it was a crappy one because it must have deleted a whole bunch of important registry files. I had to reboot my system and got a message saying "ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted" so in my infinite wisdom and panicked state I ran the XP recovery disks that came with my laptop (see laptop details below). But for some odd reason it just installed another version of Windows XP. Anyways after some sleuthing I used the XP disk to copy over the "ntoskrnl.exe" to my HD and all seemed okay as my original version of XP booted up okay, but then I get a blue XP screen saying "AutoChk.exe file not found- skipping AUTOCHECK" and the system restarts
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got the trial version of XP x64. I have a 64-bit processor and TuneUp utilities recommends I upgrade to x64. I have a couple of concerns, though. First, just because I have a 64-bit processor does not necessarily mean I have 64-bit drivers and 64-bit compatible programs, does it? Second, if I install the trial version and the trial ends; what then? Will I just go back to XP Pro or will I have sold my soul and be forced to purchase the full version?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had Windows XP 64 bit trial edition for some time now, and yes long enough to expire the 120 day trial of use. I have enjoyed the much faster OS, and have grown to have many files, of many variety and size, and DO NOT WANT TO LOSE EVERYTHING by reinstalling windows.I was wondering if anybody, had any suggestions as to how I could extend the trial or reuse the trial while retaining all of my precious information? Are there any loop holes? Should I get a free linux distribution? Should I buy some whiskey and a gun? What would you reccommend? (PS- Currently I can only have my computer on for 2 hours, after 1 hour of usage, a window pops up saying 'your windows has expired, you have 16 days left to restore access to this installation of Windows, your computer will restart in 1 hour. In addition I really dont want to shell out money if possible in anyway!)

I thought it might just need to be cleaned so I went and bought a cleaner. I tried it and now it won't do anything. I bought a brand new CD and it won't even read it at all. I can try others and it does.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy computer has slowed dramatically and I'm confident there is no virus or malware. The consensus of opinion that I've read points to the registry. Lots of writers seem to praise RegCleanr and funnily enough, I have a copy which I downloaded some time ago; vers 4.2.One writer, explaning how to use it, said, and this is a paste-in of that paragraph..No installation required ... just place it in your favorite folder, click on it to execute it, then click on the "Registry Cleanup" button on the bottom left-hand corner of the display/screen. There AIN'T any button anywhere at the bottom. If I hit tools I get registry cleanup with a lot of choices which I don't understand, Maybe he has a later edition? But can anyone who has this version, or who knows the sequence of what to do, or who has the instructions, post it up?
