Registry Cleaning Advice Wanted

[plastikaa]

I used to clean my registry manually but for some reason I stopped a while back and completely forgot about it and now I suddenly realised its a complete mess!

Instead of going through a doing it all manually I know programs exist that can clean them for you and someone told me of a program called Regseeker which I downloaded today and did a scan and it found 737 entries I don't need... this seemed hell of a lot and so im a bit cautious about deleting them all. Would this number be normal if I hadn't cleaned my registry in 6 months?

I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this program and whether it did a good job or not? Or if anyone knows of any other free Registry Cleaners that are very good?

All help is much appreciated thanks!

Yes mate very normal..Remember regseeker has an automatic back up so anything that stops working like for instance paintshop then just run regseek again and put back what was deleted then go through the list again pick the common entrys delete those in one go (no problem) and what is left delete one by one until you find what key is being deleted what you need to keep.

I use Regsupreme it rocks dude and the best on the market. it is free for 30 days full working 30 day trial then $12 to keep. well worth it.

It has the best simplest set up and so easy to have the backups put back..

Can you remember making any changes or deleting anything yourself before this happened?
What is your set up?

How much memory do you have?

Do you have your XP disc handy?

have you tried system restore yet?

I haven't got any problems on my PC its just I wanted to clean up all redundant registry entires. Im not sure what those questions have to do with this but I will answer them anyway:

Memory = 512mb DDR
Yep I have my XP disc
Not sure why I would need to try system restore just wanna delete no longer needed entries in my registry.

I will give the program a go. I had a quick check down the list and couldn't see anything that I needed keeping from a quick glance. So hopefully it will do a fine job.
