Registry fixer?

I've been on occasion getting error messages and I heard on komando.com that this can be because of registry errors. Can you recommend any registry fixing program to fix errors and such? Thanks.

Hey

Not sure about reg fixes fixes, but clean ups yes, such as Reg Cleaner (http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-download/archives/reg-cleaner4.3.htm)

or download CCleaner

CCleaner gets rid of temporary files that you don't need and it also has a Registry Cleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/)

Hi :).

Can you recommend any registry fixing program to fix errors and such? Thanks.

Personally I would not advocate the use of such applications because of the possible ramifications of ending up with a badly borked Operating System.

Saying that if you do use such, always create a backup of the registry first. Reason being even though many of these applications will create a backup of anything removed, always in my experience problematic whether or not if something mistakenly removed can be actually restored form a registry cleaning application backup successfully.

Two viable method's of creating a stand alone registry backup:

• Application:

• Please use the following link to download ERUNT
• Use the setup program to install ERUNT on your computer

Click Erunt.exe to backup your registry to the folder of your choice.

Note: to restore your registry, go to the folder and start ERDNT.exe

• Manual:

Go to Start >> Run and type:regedit
Click OK.

• On the left side, click to highlight My Computer at the top.
• Go up to File >> Export
  • Make sure in that window there is a tick next to All under Export Branch.Leave the "Save As Type" as "Registration Files".
    Under "Filename" put "backup"
• Choose to save it to C:\ or somewhere else safe so that you will remember where you put it (don't put it on the desktop!)
• Click save and then go to File >> Exit.

Note: to restore your registry, merely double click on the saved backup, follow the prompts to merge with the registry.

Thanks.

Thanks.

You're welcome :).

I have found a more reliable application of the nature your initial inquiry was about: Lexun RegScrubXP 3.25.

I had heard of this but never tried it, so out of curiosity I did on my test rig with favorable results. It creates backups of anything removed and has the inbuilt capacity to create a full registry backup, plus a comprehensive help file. Only downside it comes bundled with various XP Tweaks I personally think a unwise add-on but thats just my opinion.

Now I am not advocating this application as a must download/install but it is one of the more reliable in its genre. If you do opt to use this application, I cannot stress enough: please follow my advice in post # 3 :).

What error messages are you getting. It's quite possible it may have nothing to do with your registry.
