registry mechanic-fix problems?

Why would you have registry problems in the first place, many of these registry fixing programs are nothing more than a way to get your money. If you try to do it yourself you can run Regedit from your RUN command line...but back it up first!\n\nUsually the programs you are speaking of find a small portion of a program that is no longer in your computer and is referenced in your registry...this WILL NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS. Virtually every single program leaves a trace of itself in your registry, don't worry about it!!

Simply put, if you have no experience in using the registry, then NO. BUT - you could uninstall your applications and re-install on a different drive...just make sure you do a full unistall (not keeping any user settings) or you'll end up with problems.

Select Start then Run and use the Regedit or regedt32 you can view all of the KEYS as well they are some programs that lock the Registry down (bad Idea) as many programs are always hiding some goodies

This is more then likely a corupted entry in your system registry. unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling works will not fix this problem. it will require uninstalling works, and then going into your system registry and removin all entries that the uninstall did no remove and then preforming a complete new installation. however, unless you know what you are doing in the registry, it would be a wise investment to take the system to a trained professional, removing the wrong thing from your registry can cause your system to stop working.

The registry is a central repository for the information need to startup and run various programs in the windows enviroment. You should not really need to repair it unless it becomes corrupted or compromised by malware, spyware. If your computer keeps telling you the registry needs to be repaired then you probably have spyware issues.

One way is to restore to a previous copy of your registry, Which is not the same as a complete system restore, but if you are lucky, may do the trick. \n\nGo to registry editor (Start - run - type "regedit" - enter)\n\nIn the file option, select restore and choose a previously backed up copy of the registry.\n\nAll the best.

the registry is the basis of your operating system it is allright to use a program such as registry mechanic to find and repair problems but unless you are an expert don't even think about trying to modify it the blue screen of death will be your reward

Umm.. I think I know exactly what it does to the registry. If you want to do it I posted the instructions below:\nTo improve the core system performance in Windows XP, you need to make certain modifications to the registry entries. \n\nWARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause very serious, system-wide problems. Incorrect entries may cause installation problems or prevent the computer from starting. You may be required to reinstall the operating system. \n\nYou will not be warned of incorrect entries while you edit the Registry to change values. Therefore, please back up the registry files by following these steps: \n\n1. Click Start, select Run, and type Regedit. \n2. From File menu, click Export file. \n3. Select "All" option to take a complete backup of the registry. \n4. Enter "regback" as the file name and save it on the desktop. \n\nIf you make any incorrect entries, the backup file can be used to replace the corrupted registry entries. \n\nAfter taking a backup of the registry, change the "DisablePagingExecutive" option to "1" by following these steps: \n\n1. Click Start, select Run, and type regedit. \n2. Click the plus (+) sign beside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. \n3. Click the plus (+) sign beside System. \n4. Click the plus (+) sign beside CurrentControlSet. \n5. Click the plus (+) sign beside Control. \n6. Click the plus (+) sign beside Session Manager. \n7. Click Memory Management. \n8. Locate and right-click the "DisablePagingExecutive" option on the right pane. \n9. Select Modify. \n10. Change the value to "1". \n11. From the Registry menu, click Exit. \n12. Restart the system. \n\nThese steps will keep the core Windows system in memory and not paged to the disk. As a result, the core system performance will be improved.

if your running windows xp:\n\nstart -> run -> "msconfig"\n\n----\nIf someone says to go to the startup folder, ignore them; the registry startup is ignored if you only look at that.
