Registry errors. A lot of them!
I ran a system Analyzer, and among other things, it came with some 1000 registry errors. Is it possible that this is the source of my very slow performance?
I ran Disk Defragmenter, virus scan, deleted all unnecessary programs at startup until (I can find it).
I am running XP Media Center Version 2002 SP 3. do I need a registry cleaner? suggestions?
Thank you
RSL
NO YOU DO NOT HAVE A REGISTRY MORE CLEAN!
According to many "analyzers; and "cleaners", a new system out of the box will be hundreds of registry 'Mistakes' - they are not mistakes at all and may be to reduce the risk of problems later.
All registry cleaners have one goal - to enrich the writer.
They do nothing else, except potentiall paralyze your system
There is NO 'good' registry cleaner

I am sorry to raise this issue that so many people who have asked me. I read pages and pages of discussions on the MS forum on this subject, and without exception, all the experts said Microsoft registry cleaners are completely unnecessary and that junk in the registers has no performance impact at all. Instead, they say, to do x, y and z. I am running Windows XP on my desk for five years, and gradually, he got so slow it's almost unbearable. It takes 10-15 minutes just to start, and sometimes it takes 2 minutes or more just to open a window of browser (IE8) or go to the previous page by using the arrow to the left. Before you tell me all the things it could be, please let me say that:
1. my PC has not always been this slow! It is getting worse.
2. all my Windows software is up to date. I have automatic updates on.
3. I have a lot of disk space, almost 75% of free space on a hard drive of 80 GB.
4. my PC is free of viruses, spyware and Trojans. I have McAfee antivirus running and I also sometimes run Malwarebytes and Trojan Killer, because they always find things that don't have McAfee.
5. I defragment my hard drive on a regular basis.
6. I regularly delete all my temporary files by using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.
7. I have very little, if any "Add-ons". No toolbar Yahoo or Google (or Bing!).
8. I removed nearly every program that I start, so that they are not running in the background.
9. I uninstalled all the programs that I don't use.
However, I still have a slow ever-more computer. Sometimes, when I see ads on TV to increase the speed of my PC, I download the 'free' software, and they claim to find hundreds or thousands of "registry errors. When I look at the newspapers, I see many entries in registry for 'Netscape' and 'Google Earth', which I uninstalled years ago, as well as entries for the videos that I downloaded, seen once, and deleted a long time ago.
So, what's the problem? If it's not related to my registry (which Trojan Killer says has more 6 000 entries!), what else could be? I would appreciate greatly any advice you can give, because there are dozens of companies on their touting their registry cleaners and the uninstall (for a price) programs, and after reading reviews of the MS MVPs, I'm skeptical of their claims. Thank you. :)
I can't disagree with a lot of things have already been said.
I'm willing to accept that your machine does actually takes 10 to 15 minutes on the clock. It's completely absurd.
Some people call your "Windows Rot" problem. Becomes just the slower windows over time. It is a collection of things that are happening in the background. Yes I believe that the register contributes. Using a registry cleaner is not a "magic" solution But it can help a little.
The PC care program/process you described is above average. I suggest you add CCleaner. Disk Cleanup is not bad, CCleaner is better, cleaning of other stuff which does not resemble the DC. It won't be a significant difference because disk space is not your problem, but it will help a little.
'Play' with the registry is VERY risky. If you decide to go ahead, I would say that first make you a copy of the full image backup using a utility that can be started and run from a CD/DVD. Just in case the registry cleaner breaks of your machine.
Registry cleaners is that they take a "best estimate" to what is no longer necessary. Sometimes they think wrong. And each vacuum cleaner will clean slightly different sets of places. If the tool does not provide a way to back up the registry before you start cleaning, do not use it. He is not careful enough.
If vacuuming offer 'levels' of cleaning, enjoy. Open for more aggressive cleaning, with resetting and long series of normal use between cleanings.
You are looking for a tool which also makes registry "defragmentation". The registry is a database that get disorganized by additions and deletions. Defragmentation will be re - organize and get rid of a 'lost' space, making it the smallest file, afterwards faster to read. It is not something you need to do frequently, but since you've never done it in 5 years, it would help, after cleaning registry.
Another place to find CPU and RAM wasted resources is Windows Services. These are small programs that start at boot time. They run in the background and provide support services to all applications or specific applications. Many applications services are running even though you don't really need them. You can find information on which you can set by Googling for 'Windows XP hardening'. There are a lot of sites with good information. They call it hardening because by disabling unnecessary stuff, you leave less possible openings for the "bad guys" to the attack.
Ultimately, I think your best bet will simply bite the bullet and re - install windows and all your applications. It's the best way to restore your computer to almost any performance fees factory. (It is not exactly factory fresh because you need to add a ton of Windows updates).
Before you re-install, do copy image 1 or more full backups. At least one must be done using a tool that will easily allow you to extract the files. You data backup files separately to make it easier to restore the reinstallation. IE, copy it to a USB key.
Many "experts" actually expect to, and do, re - install windows every 6-12 months! I think it's a bit exaggerated, but they swear by it.
Once you do your re - install, create a copy of the magnified image
Install a firewall application (before the windows updates)
Once you do all updates of windows, create a copy of the magnified image
After that you re-install all your apps, create another copy of the complete picture.In this way, in the future, you have more current points to restore your computer to. It will reduce the time you spend to get back to the current configuration.
On a 5 year old XP machine, you have probably 512 MB - 1 GB of RAM. You might also consider taking in the shop (or DIY) and bump the RAM up to at least 2 GB or better still max out. The current versions of the applications use much more memory than they did 5 years ago. Even XP will be since he has been seriously corrected since then.

I've only used a computer for 2 years so I don't know much about them. I have more than 500 registry errors that must be fixed and gain speed and freezes on my computer. I live on a fixed income and need to know if there is a program that I can buy that will help these problems. I have AVAST security paid program and there are the files they can analyze only jackets on and not the content, also left programs I had here and removed fragments. I am not computer savvy and I would really appreciate the help, and I'd rather not iyogi. Thank you

free looking for software that fixes the registry errors (windows XP)
I used two free software tools to check the performance of my desktop computer. They all find many errors (including registry errors) but they will not fix them without subscribing to them.
I have no experience in this area so I don't really know what to trust. Any suggestions on what tool would be best to use to improve the PC performance and fix errors etc.
Thank you in advance!
You need not register to speed up your PC, registry is an important part of the system, and you should not change it and it is better than not using any which registry cleaner. Instead, you can use free tools in Windows to speed up your PC, including:
(1) defragnment
clean the disc 2)
check the disk 3)
And also update your Windows and full-body scan with anti-virus and also to remove programs that you don't want to add/remove programs in Control Panel. I also suggest that take a look at:

Hello
After having solved my problem KSOD, I ran a scanner who said that I had a lot (400 odd) errors in my registry. The scanner would solve only 15 well (I found it free online)
Is it possible that I can delete these registry errors or is there another scanner that will do for me?
The online registry Scanners that you 'will find' are a complete waste of time and especially the SCAMS.
Let alone registry cleaners.
You should only work in your registry manually; and then ONLY if you know what you're doing.
A modern operating system like Vista does not normally require all work to do inside during normal operations.
See you soon.

Toshiba laptop start registry error after manual stop
original title: Toshiba laptop start registry error after manual stop - HELP!
Hello, I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista. Yesterday it froze completely upward and I had to manually close (hold the power button until stop you him) twice. The second time when I tried to restart the came Toshiba screen, then the screen with the little scroll down bar, and then it went black, waited for a while, then flashes a bluescreen with a written up VERY quickly and cycles back to the Toshiba screen. This time after the scroll bar it gives me white saying the writing system could not restart, and I want to start normally or startup repair. If I restart it through loading files, trying to fix it and said then he wasn't able to fix it and when I look at the details there something on a registry error.
I really need to solve this problem quickly and desperately want to save all my files if possible because it's our main Mobile family that has all our digital photos on it and they are not saved. (I know, terrible of us). Can someone help me?
Thank you

Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Data recovery:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.
2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.
3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:
http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html
Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Download the Vista software from the link above.
After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.
Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.
See you soon.

I reinstalled windows vista to factory default and when parsing registry errors with norton utilities found errors in 1395. what I would do. I have to fix all the mistakes.
Hi mohdrafi,.
No need to panic. If you used another registry, cleaner, we could see 2000, 3000 or 4000 even depedning errors that the registry search cleaner. Registry cleaners are so reliable that I wouldn't even recommend them. In fact you don't need a registry cleaner and, contrary to popular reports, your registry "is not" increased cleaning performance. Registry cleaners are noted for the provision of many "false positives" it makes you wonder if the registry cleaner is saying 'what the devil I know, just delete this and the other and hope everything works eventually. My advice? Forget the registry cleaning!

You do not have 800 registry errors and there is no reason to correct them. If you use something like UniBlue, stop, uninstall it and throw it before it causes serious damage to your system.

Read it in conjunction with the rest of the information they give link above.
Note
If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.
If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.
If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start
If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.
If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

Refresh your PC goes like this:
- The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
- Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
- Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
- Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
- The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

"When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.
See you soon.

I have more than 250 registry errors, what should I do?
I did a scan of my registry and found that there are 257 errors here. What would you do? Would you use one of the registry cleaners from the net or what. I find that I cannot defragment because the process stops short, informing that the files are unreadable.
I and many experts in these forums will tell you that the registry cleaners usually do more harm than good. They often claim that correct registry "errors" that simply did not matter. To try to resolve the 'mistakes' unimportant they can often cause havoc on the PC, causing either that it doesn't work properly or at all.
Registry cleaners don't consider as a panacea for your computer problems. If you have a specific problem, are looking for a specific answer. People in these forums will be happy to help you.
As for your question of defragmentation, try a disk check. See:
Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
Vista: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-for-errors
XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 .
Back up your data on a separate drive until you start as a precaution.

Microsoft has a software that cleans, repairs and fix registry errors for free?
Clean and fix free registry errors
Microsoft has a software that cleans, repairs and fix registry errors for free

N ° and stay away from all these programs.
Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.
The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
It can have.

Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
good deal.Ken Blake (MS-MVP)
