• What is the best way to correct the registry errors without the use of a registry cleaner in XP?

  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.

  As suggested by Imran, Microsoft removed the Windows Installer Cleanup utility of its servers to download because sometimes when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), he took over he was supposed to.

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

• I need to clean the registry because it has not been done in a long time.

  I need to clean the registry because it has not been done in a long time.  I can't find any software cleaner that cleans all teasers just identify errors and clean up maybe 3 things, but you need to buy to do it all.

  What can I do?

  Do not.  He didn't need it and even if you deleted 1000 things from him (doubtful) it would make little or no impact on performance.

  If you don't understand the registry enough to know what to erase manually or how to add things yourself, etc. - using a tool that almost arbitrarily find the things that are supposed to be orphaned or not necessary and confidence (for some reason any) can lead to a system of death.

  If you just * have to * ("it's a moral imperative") and then use that integrated with CCleaner.  I generally recommend not even consider using its registry "cleaning" component - but in the many times I used to analyze and find things and go through them manually before I remove them (at least - I've seen ~ 250 entries, he suggested to get rid of and even in this case, my manual check led me to delete all and there was no adverse) I didn't it go wrong.  If you * MUST * do it, use it and save your changes, so you might be able to roll back.  Before do you all - make sure your backups are in order.

• I used to get the Blue error screen when you connect to the wide I did the registry clean, but now, when you connect the computer stops with no error message.

  How can I fix it? or what is wrong now?

  Hi Stelana,

  If I understand correctly, the computer turns off when you want to disconnect.

  This behavior may be caused by this security software on the computer, or the computer might be infected with the virus.

  To refine the question, I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Disable the security software and test, follow the steps mentioned below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Activate security software once it's all done.

  Because this problem occurs after cleaning registry, critical registry keys may have been changed.

  Some programs available for free on the Internet may contain spyware, adware or virus. Only download and install programs from software publishers that you trust. Even if the website, that you download the program trust, you must also trust the Publisher of the program. For more information, see when to trust a software publisher.

• You have a program or script that cleans up the database registry for a cleaning of the installation?

  I have a new laptop. Loaded Firefox, then had to uninstall. After the new installation, the application does not start. No error messages / reports are generated. I followed the steps in uninstalling; cleaned %AppData%, but also the installation directories. Next step is the registry.

  Did you remove the Firefox program folder?

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  Hello!

  My L505-10J system heat sink seems to be sprinkled at the same time, that the fan is more comparative work initially and to the exhaust air flow is barely perceptible.

  My old laptop manufacturing another hat cover to access the RAM slots and fan/radiator as well... remove dust was easy enough.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Hi daFlox,

  I use Toshiba laptops for years but I never opened it to clean the radiator system. This is not necessary because you need only spray compressed air to do this. Just blow air through the BACE h of the cases where the fan is. This can blow off the dust. You can get the jet of compressed air from each dealer computer I think.

  By the way: even I found this article in the section fair questions:
