| 290795 | 2004-11-12 01:49:00 | My computer runs on Win98SE. I have just installed RegSeaker and found that there are 439 items in Registry recommended for cleaning out. They are: file or path does not exist; invalid ActiveX/COM entry (CLSID); extension not used etc... I am a bit reluctant to delete all these without some advice even though I have checked the backup box. Has anyone used this programme and are there any pitfalls? Should the computer crash how do you use the recommended backup to restore the Registry? |

| 290796 | 2004-11-12 02:00:00 | If your system is working now and u have no probs, I wouldnt worry about deleting entries in the registry. Most reg backups make a .reg file. All u do is double click on it to run it, a requestor window pops up, and will (or should ask you if you're sure), and the info goes back into the registry, where it came from. Altho some reg files u can also use the right mouse and select merge. |

| 290797 | 2004-11-12 02:11:00 | i'd advise you to make a backup of your registry before you do anything. that way, if it does delete something it shouldn't have, you can go back to before :) | Megaman (344) | ||

| 290799 | 2004-11-12 09:17:00 | for starters i would be very wary at useing a BETA software to go clean the registry. i would use a more trusted one eg jv16 (which is no longer free) or toniarts easycleaner. one thing to note with regcleaners is they must be kept upto date. some programs (eg windows) has invalid reg entries for a reason and if you delete them then something may not work correctly later on. most good regcleaners have an updated list on what entries they need to advoid deleteing. |
