I was just poking a stick at Susan.

I also use RegSeaker, it is easy to use, and will back up it something goes wrong.

276636 2005-04-15 04:37:00 Although I have been using RegSeeker for years and on dozens of PCs without any issues I did encounter a problem with a computer this week which I suspect was caused by RegSeeker. The HP Pavilion computer running Windows ME lost its settings in "Add/Remove Windows Components" after running RegSeeker.
i see that it was a fault in regseeker which is fixed in the later vers (a repair is advailable for those effected), however that is what you get for useing a BETA product to clean your registry.
unless you know how to fix pc's keep well away from beta products. btw regseeker is still in beta afaik. there are other regcleaners which are fininshed products and are more suited to most users (excludeing MSregclean which is to old to mention)

And it wasn't fixed in a later version, they just issued a registry fix for it. ;)

Yes, I agree that unless one is an experienced user then they should stay away from beta products in general. However, RegSeeker has been in "beta" ever since I first came across it several years ago upon the recommendations of experts on another very reputable computer forum so it's not like it is untried and unproven. It's just weird how they still label it as a beta product.


there are other regcleaners which are fininshed products and are more suited to most users (excludeing MSregclean which is to old to mention)Those "other products" may be out of "beta" mode, sure, but like all programs they are still susceptable to yet-to-be-discovered little bugs as each update is released. As I have said more than once, apart from this one very easy to fix recent problem I have never had any trouble with RegSeeker yet.

Ultimately, however, people must choose and use whatever they feel comfortable and safe with after doing their research.

276640 2005-04-15 06:20:00 I was just about to ask her if the constant logging on under 2 accounts over the last half hour was a hassle...... :p Metla (12)
276641 2005-04-15 07:36:00 Well, it's a lot easier to do than when you are banned but no less dangerous I guess. :p :D SusanB (6212)
276642 2005-04-15 07:38:00 As far as i know any alternate accounts of mine are banned upon sight when Im in the state otherwise known as banned.... Metla (12)
276643 2005-04-15 12:03:00 I'm currently checking out WinASO Registry Optimiser free.
Seems to be okay so far :)

Did use Easy clean before this and found it okay, but I'm one of these people who likes to step outside of ruts occassionally and experiment ;D
