Fixing PC registry errors on your own
July 1st, 2008
The windows registry structure is probably the most important set of files on your computer. They’re also very complex and often best left up to a professional to repair. One incorrect change by you could mean a lot of lost data, or worse a format of your hard disk. The only way you should venture into repairing your registry yourself is if you’re going to use a piece of registry repair software.
The down side to using registry repair software is trying to decide which one of the literally hundreds of titles you should use? The best registry cleaner, isn’t always the same title for everyone. So I recommend a two step process to decide which program will work best for you.
First try out all the programs you can find that offer a free trial or scan utility. This tool will likely tell you how many errors the software can find in your registry. From there search for actual user reviews and comparisons of the top registry cleaners from your free test. Use those reviews and your own information from the tests you ran to make a decision about which cleaner is best for your PC.
