Executing A Comprehensive Windows Registry Scan

Friday, February 8th, 2008

You own a computer and most likely, you perform system maintenance on a regular basis. The thing is, you don’t know why it is still sluggish and why you often experience system errors and freezes. Well, that’s fine because a lot of computer users do not understand that a messy registry can be the root of the problem. In this article, I will explain what messes up the Windows registry in the first place and how you can execute an intensive scan and subsequently clean the registry.

First things first, how did your computer registry get messy? Remember that application you were installing that crashed mid-way leaving the installation incomplete? Or that freeware you downloaded and installed only to realize it is not what you thought it is, and then you promptly uninstalled it? What about those times your computer goes off without shutting down properly? While these things are inevitable, they are just some of the numerous factors responsible for corrupting registry files.

So how do you fix registry errors? Well, thanks to several registry repair software, you do not need to be computer-savvy in other to fix corrupt registry files. All you have to do is, download and install a registry repair software (I highly recommend RegCure), perform a thorough Windows registry scan (basically a point-and-click process), and chose either to automatically fix illegal entries in the Registry or manually do so by selecting the specific Registry entries you want to fix.

An automatic scan of the registry using registry repair software beats a manual lookup hands down. While the latter takes considerable time and effort, and can be a daunting task, the former (using registry repair software) is a breeze. And besides saving time and energy, you get all necessary tasks pertaining to registry repair done with a simple mouse click.

The benefits of using suitable registry repair software far outweigh its cost in monetary value. Apart from improving your computer performance and correcting system errors and freezes, you save time as a registry scan and fix take a matter of minutes. So if you want to speed up your PC, a scan and fix of the Windows registry might be all you need.

How to Fix Corrupt Registry Files

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Having to deal with a corrupt registry can be very challenging for those who are computer savvy as well as those who are not. From deciding whether to use manual fix or not, to chosing the right registry repair software that will ensure your PC works well afterwards, the challenges are numerous. Whatever your level of experience, though, using a registry repair tool to fix corrupt registry files might be the preferred option because deleting the wrong registry entry could result in more problems for your PC. This article will show you how to fix corrupt registry files without causing more harm to your PC.

Before you begin fixing the corrupt registry files, perform a registry backup. The importance of this cannot be overemphasized. If anything goes wrong, you can at least restore it and then you’re back to square one, which is better than being worse off. A quick way to backup the registry is to create a System Restore Point. To learn how to do this, please visit our tutorial on How To Backup The Windows Registry.

Now after performing a backup, the next step would be to fix corrupt registry files. Like I mentioned earlier, things can easily go sour with a manual fix. So I recommend using a suitable Registry Repair Software. You can chose from a variety of tools for the job, but I have found RegCure to be better than most tools out there. An exciting feature of RegCure is the ability to manually delete problem entries after performing a registry scan. With this feature, you can selete only the problems you want to fix and promptly fix it. Another feature of RegCure is the presence of a registry backup and restore utility. With this utility, an automatic backup is created every time you use RegCure and you can easily restore any or all registry entries any time.

The benefits of using a registry repair software to fix corrupt registry files far outweighs doing it manually (even if you’re savvy enough to do it manually). Besides peace of mind, you save time since a manual repair could take several minutes to a few hours. So if your PC needs a boost, all you might need is a registry cleanup.
