Go to www.grisoft.com and download the FREE version of AVG.\nIt's an excellent virus and registry checker plus should help with your problems. Once you get to the website, select DOWNLOADS, from the left side of your screen, then select download the "free AVG" version. It's very simple to do and you continously get free automatic updates.\nGood luck.

There are a few free registry cleaners.  Unfortunately, they aren't on par with commercial registry cleaners.  Fred Langa, of Informationweek, has a great review article on both free and commerical registry cleaners \n\n"Langa Letter: Testing 10 Windows 'Registry Cleaning' Software Packs: \nFred Langa tries to make sense of wildly disparate claims, and rates the best free and commercial products."\n\n(http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=171203805)\n\nAs for myself, I have tried several registry cleaners, both freeware and commercial.  The best "for pay" registry cleaner I have come across is TuneUp Utilties 2006.  It's accurate and efficient.  Personally, I think it outshines Iolo's System Mechanic and Norton's SystemWorks.  It has a 30 day trial period if you want to try it.  The download link is http://www.tune-up.com/\n\nAs for free registry cleaners, I would recommend CCleaner.  You can select which portion of the registry you want to scan for errors.  CCleaner will create a registry backup before cleaning anything.  It doesn't do a deep scan but it is free.  Fred Langa recommends EasyCleaner but I've used it and found CCleaner found more errors and gave me more control over what to scan and fix.  You can download both programs at BetaNews.com (www.betanews.com), just enter the program name in to the search box and search for all downloads.

My first question is how do you know it's your registry, are you getting a lot of errors in the system?  Or is your computer just running very slow?  Click on the link I've supplied.  In the upper right hand quarter of the screen.  You'll see the program, install this program to find the problems in your registry.  It's also very good at finding temporary Internet files and cleaning them out.  You will want to run the registry cleaner three times, this will clear out 90% of all the errors in your system.  Good luck!

This is the problem that I used to encounter number of times. Then I went for Windows update and installed some critical updates as suggested by the web site after scanning my computer.\n\nIts going to be a week that I have not yet faced any crash.

You can hear and see what they have for free registry programs. You say you are running Windows XP, but is it the media edition? I had nothing but reg errors and other error messages with it. I finally had to install Just the Pro version which was fine cause I wasn't using the Media features anyway.\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/\nI've also been told this is suppose to be a good product, but I don't know for sure.\nhttp://www.repairregistry.com/free_scan.htm

Hi. First, I'd like to know what made you aware of the presence of errors in your registry. Probably the software that detected those errors can fix them. Otherwise REGFIX from microsoft is a neat tool to fix errors, its small (just a couple of KBs), fast and easy to use. You should be able to find the tool at download.microsoft.com

Great question and thanks for participating. It's obvious that you have a great deal of knowledge with computers simply because you wouldnt have the particular equipment in your computer if you didnt. There are a few things that can cause that problem as you know, cookies and temp files being the main cause. Also, by defragging the hard drive will help. The registry files can also cause problems of that nature and will need to be cleaned up and repaired if necessary. Registry cleaners are available at no charge in some cases and can be found by using www.google.com. Last of all, do not overlook the possibilities of trojans, viruses, etc which can also cause that problem for you. If I can help in any way, plz let me know and i'll work with you step by step until the problem is solved. Hit me on dumbbutt4321@yahoo.com if you'd like. Larry RadioShack 01-9590

Your computer assigned it in error.\n\nGo to the folder again where this is happening. Click on TOOLS then FOLDER OPTIONS. Then go to File Types and make sure your folders are set to open with the correct application to fix this problem.\n\nIf you need more help, just contact me.\nDont play around with the registry unless youre a professional, you will screw up your computer and you will be worst off.\n\nDo a system restore to yesterday. It will restore it back to how it was. It usually works well if its just a small problem like youre having. Hopefully you didnt install any programs since yesterday.

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Bitdefender is slower but supposedly high rated. Norton causes crashes on startup sometimes. AVG is a lemming that tells you where the virus is and doesnt really remove it. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

That wasnt a very bright move on your part.\n\nAre you using XP?\n\nif so, try a system restore\n\nClick Start->Help and support->Undo changes with system restore\n\nSelect Undo changes to my computer\n\nPick a point before you did the registry cleaner.\n\nHOPEFULLY  that will work.
