ThanksExactly what is your problem, and what makes you think something needsto be repaired?If you are looking for a registry cleaner, from Microsoft or fromanyone else, read the following:Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of theregistry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone anddon't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, andwhat vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you. The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneouslyremoving an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefitit may have. Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.htmland http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099and alsohttp://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspxLet me point out that neither I nor anyone else who warns against theuse of registry cleaners has ever said that they always causeproblems. If they always caused problems, they would disappear fromthe market almost immediately. Many people have used a registrycleaner and never had a problem with it.Rather, the problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with itthe substantial risk of having a problem. And since there is nobenefit to using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very badbargain.Ken Blake (MS MVP)

actually not all registry cleaners are scams. but the ones you have to pay for are. there are only 2 I know of that are not scams.Ccleaner and the windows live cleanup scan. also these as well as any other registry cleaner will not make your computer faster or fix errors, they just get rid of old junk in the registry.

But that does notmake them risk-free.also these as well as any other registry cleaner will not make your computer faster or fix errors,Right.they just get rid of old junk in the registry.Since the amount of disk space the "old junk" takes is tiny, there isno value to getting rid of it. Running any risk at all for somethingwith no value is foolhardy.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP
