What are the registry errors and are they more than a gadget?

I hava a 2 year, HP laptop, XP Professional.  I get the e-mail promising fix registry errors and make my computer faster and more efficiant - it seems a bit "drasggy", these products work? Is there a free source for the same thing?  Thank you very much.

Registry cleaners fix errors without importance offering significant benefits and this can create unsolvable system, errors that cannot be solved by reinstalling Windows and all that cause.

  • XP x 64 CAB file extracts the data error (CRC) - several times, more than one download

    I try to install Win XP Pro x 64 SP2 (Windows Server 2003 stand-alone), second download and get the same error: error (cyclic redundancy check) data on all extracted amd64\ip\txtsetup.sif fine up to this point, then crashes and refuses to go any further. It comes to 350 MB a pop, a trail of real time, even with a fast ethernet connection. Why this folder? Is there a way to get this file and a way around this problem of extraction? According to my OEM, I need to reinstall SP2 to solve my problems with Windows install, because my single drive has only SP1 on it, and I need to have SP2, which I already installed it on my system. OTW, I need to rub all over again and find a way to download and install, with everything else that's on my system, a task that I enjoy not having had to do in the past on much smaller systems (it's 230 GB).

    Cyclical redundancy usually indicates a bad sector on a disk.  When this kind of errors appear, the next step would be to run "chkdsk" with the /f or/r option.  It will examine all areas of your disk and map - out of the areas he finds who has problems.  After checkdsk works, your hard drive must be in good shape and you should not have other CRC problems.

    Fair warning: If the hard disk is large or there are many problems, this verification can take hours and can not be interrupted.  Plan to run it at night or when the computer is not required for a while.  It is also possible [small] that chkdsk will get worse and the disk may be inaccessible.  A good practice would be to backup your important data before running chkdsk.

  • No history except the 2 update, I installed last night. What is a registry error?.

    When I go to windows update it tells me that no update was already installed. The update history page is white, except for the 2 updates, I installed last night. Update said earlier I have all the updates that are installed and there is no new update. I went to the windows update log in windows system 32 file and it lists all of my updates to the current, but will not display the update on the page history. I have hundreds of updates in the win sys. 32 journal update.

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
    on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
    Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
    company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
    the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
    Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

    ===========================================

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however remember to check
    your antivirus, the main drivers and BIOS update programs and also to solve problems
    with the first method cleanboot.

    • How long have you been faced with this problem?

    I recommend the clean boot and try to install in clean boot state.
     
    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
