  • Error in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\Database

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\Database

    This error keeps occurring on my Scan of the registry - how can I get rid of him?

    What you need to get rid of is whatever program you use to make registry scans.  In general, they do not work and some are really dangerous (I've seen cases where they did so much damage all the Vista system was to be installed as a clean boot).  Do not pay attention to the mistakes that these programs show - they may or may not be true and 'fix' can cause more harm than just leave them alone.  Most are not really errors.  You risk serious damage to your system if you continue to use any scanner registry, registry booster, Fixer registry, registry repair tool or anything similar.  Vista doesn't have these programs - it does a job perfectly well to clean the registry on its own.

    Please take my advice and uninstall and never use this device or any other product like it if you care about the integrity and preservation of your system and your registry database.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
