Registry Fix Tips
Registry fix
If your looking for a registry
fix there are a large number of registry repair options available to us,
depending on the particular registry problem that you are experiencing.
Before you start any system
maintenance, especially is a delicate area like the registry is involved, make
sure you create a system restore point, using Windows system restore, which is
part of Windows XP and Vista.
And if the worst happens we can
simply restore to our previous configuration, for more on Windows system restore
read our article from the link below.
Most registry problems occur
when applications or parts of the operating system are changed, this can mean
installed, removed or upgraded, then if the changes made to the operating system
are not accurately reflected within the registry then we begin to experience
registry errors and problems.
This usually happens due to
threads or loose ends which are pointers within the registry which point to
wrong or invalid file locations.
Over a period of time depending
on how many registry changes are made the loose end threads gradually build up
in number causing problems from slowness to major system problems.
If your computer is running
slow or is giving general registry related errors, running a registry cleaner
such as regclean which also acts as a registry optimizer, is a good place to
start this checks and removes many of the invalid registry entries.
If you are getting specific
errors within Windows and it’s related to software that you have removed then it
may be worth using the Windows registry editor to find and remove this. To use
simply type Regedit from the Start > Run Menu
Make sure you backup your
existing registry now from the file export registry menu.
Now simply search for the
application that you have removed. For more on your Registry look here.
If you find your computer is
still having issues after this then apart from a commercial registry cleaner, we
have two more choices.
1. If you are
using Windows XP or Vista it comes with a wonderful utility called System
Restore, this basically enables us to restore our computer configuration to an
earlier point in time, i.e. before the error started occurring. For more
information on this read our
System Restore article.
The only downside of system
restore, you can not always restore to a desired date.
2. System repair,
a Windows system repair if done properly will enable us to basically reset our
Windows configuration while allowing us to maintain installed applications and
files. Overall a system repair is technically more involved than a system
restore, but if you need a hand with a
Windows repair read our how to guide
