| 733886 | 2009-01-01 00:36:00 | Hi. My machine runs well, although it has possibly got a little slower over time. A scan for Registry Issues in CCleaner identifies some 270 'Registry Issues' ranging from 'Missing Shared DLL', 'Unused File Extension', 'Invalid Default Icon', 'AcyiveX/Com Issue', 'Open With Application Issue', 'Missing TypeLib Reference', 'Help File Issue', 'Installer Reference Issue', 'Uninstaller reference Issue', 'Obsolete Software Key', 'Missing Startup Software' to Missing MUI Reference'. If I nominate 'Fix (selected) Issues' for the above, am I likely to end up in a worse state? MS Windows XP SP3 AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+; 1.0 Gb RAM; NVIDEA GeForce FX5200. Cheers. |

| 733887 | 2009-01-01 00:41:00 | all that stuff builds up over time if you regularly uninstall/install programs etc, i use ccleaner and all the options ticked under the registry option(by default i think) and have not had any problems. you can click "fix all", if you are unsure click "back up registry" before cleaning. |

| 733888 | 2009-01-01 03:56:00 | Thanks, GameJunkie. I've done it. No probs evident at this stage. | A Team (13613) | ||
| 733889 | 2009-01-01 04:25:00 | no probs, have you used the cleaner option as well to get rid of temp files etc? | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 733890 | 2009-01-01 04:29:00 | I always back up the registry just to be safe then keep the backup for a few days until I know there are no drama's | gary67 (56) | ||
| 733891 | 2009-01-01 06:24:00 | If I nominate 'Fix (selected) Issues' for the above, am I likely to end up in a worse state? . Nope. Its not a bad program but none of them, ever, clean the registry out properly. Because they err on the side of caution......... |

| 733892 | 2009-01-01 06:27:00 | that is true what you say pcteck, had this program called registrybooster which found roughly 400 registry errors whereas ccleaner finds very few , if any now( good thing i guess) | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 733893 | 2009-01-01 06:34:00 | I also use CCleaner, it is very good. Then I use a program called RegOpt which compresses the registry a bit. www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de But there needs to be a program that rewrites the whole registry to a new smaller file. |

| 733895 | 2009-01-01 07:59:00 | Has anyone ever seen a test that shows that so called registry cleaners make any performance difference whatsoever? | apsattv (7406) | ||
