Why your Computer Registry should be Checked and Repaired

By Dan Ashton

To say that the state of an average computer's registry would be a surprise to most people would be an understatement. Just a few weeks, never mind months, of game playing and internet usage can leave a PC in desperate need of a computer registry cleaner.

The first step is to assess whether you need a registry cleaner or not. There are many available and the majority of these can be used on most types of operating systems, whether it be Microsoft XP or Vista.

The monitoring of a computer registry was originally a manual process, whereby an IT professional (or at least someone who had been "trained") would assess a PC to see which files were not required anymore, and which were needed by the computer in question.

The best registry repair program removes the registry files for programs which have been deleted and which are not being used by other applications. It is common for registry files to be shared between programs in order to save space. These shared files often should not be deleted since they are being used by other programs and removing them can actually cause problems with the programs that are sharing them.

When you look into windows XP registry repair programs it is a good idea to check into the reviews on the program. Make sure that not only does it have good reviews from the computer experts but that it also has good reviews from users. You want to know what people like you think about the program before you go out and spend your money on it.

Can you imagine running registry repair programme and discovering after it has finished that several of your programmes no longer work? Even worse than that, you have no way of retrieving them? This is entirely possible if you do not use the correct programme, and do not back up the system either before running it, or as part of the process itself.

As with most things, you get what you pay for. You could utilise a free registry cleaner, but in the long term it could do more harm than good. Alongside that, there are several programmes that charge a few hundred dollars to carry out the same progress, which is well above what the majority of us want, or indeed need to pay.

As we have demonstrated, the impact of not having a clean computer registry can severly hinder the peformance of your computer. Some people even get to the stage of disposing of a PC and purchasing a new one because they assume that this is the only way to have one running at the speeds they need. This is generally not the case, which is why a registery cleaner is recommended. - 18099
