Registry fix/cleaner

GroovyCrimes · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2010 12:36 pm

My computer is getting really slow & sluggish so I did some googling & it was suggested that I download & run a registry cleaner programme.
Ive ran registryeasy which found around 2000 errors & surprise surprise,the free version doesnt fix them,it only finds them
Is it worth paying for or are these programmes useless ?

I have one if you need it but messing with your registry can be bad if you dont know what your doing, to be honest I have found the programs to make no difference what so ever. Your probably best just doing a spyware scan to keep you happy :laugh:

I wouldn't spend money on anything like that. There is a free program called CCleaner which cleans all manner of things on a PC including the registry.

No, like Mr Mars said, CCleaner is a good 'un

Will it not be worth running a disk defrag Groovy

the bairn and her mate have cleared the cookies from the kitchen as well.
I was looking forward to eating a couple with my cuppa, but that's that idea shot.
Why do they have to eat every last one?
