Registry

[EE26]

I loaded a free registry cleaner and it said I had 189 problems.It fixed some of them for free but it said I still have about 140 left.Is one registry cleaner better than any other.The one I loaded is Registry Fix. Any product recommendations?

I have been using SystemSuite5 (and the previous version) for years. It has so many more tools than the RegistyFixer but that is the main reason I use it.

Before placing much, if any weight, on my reply to your question about registry repair softwares, please know I am not anything near being a computer geek or expert. But I have had some experience with several registry repair software programs. TuneUp Utilities is one i have used for some time now and it, too, has several features other than just registry repair. When i started using TuneUp Utilities it was possible to use the entire program as much as you wanted to for a 30 day trial period. To find TuneUp Utilities web site, you can just enter "TuneUp Utilites" in a Google search and find it.

I have several such programs that i will sometimes run one after the other without doing any of the fixes and it is always interesting to see that some will flag problems that the others do not catch.

I have Weatherbug as one of my startup programs and it has commerical ads that will change from time-to-time, and recently ones of it's ads was for a software program called Registry Repair Pro. You could download it for a trial and the trial version would only correct 15 problems, but if detected more than 15 problems you could just repair 15 problems and start it over and it would repair up to 15 more problems. The website for Registry Repair Pro is www.3bsoftware.com

I read at what I recall as being a well -known and reputable computer information site(www.wugnet.com i ampretty sure) that some of the spam type offers for free scans are not all on the up-and-up. They said that some of the ones with free scans will flag more problems than actually exist so you will buy their softwar to fix the problems.

Here again, remember I am the Sgt. Schultz of computer knowledge( I know NOTHING), but if a lot of romoving and deleting of sotware and documents is done i have noticed it always creates registry "problems".
