Alright all. Sorry to post another dull computer question but does anyone know of any free registry repairing software? i've downloaded a few but they all tend to identify about 150 faults then say it can only repair six unless you buy full version. On student wages that easier said than done Crying or Very sad

I haven't a clue what to mess with when I manually look through registry so it looks like software is my only hope of a system that doesn't take a day to boot up.

Cheers for any help

Probably most of the registry faults are nothing to worry about.

If I were you I'd back up and format and just re-install windows, its much easier. Smile

I would personally suggest getting your hands on a program called WinASO registry cleaner, it runs through your registry and fixes and deleted all the junk that you keep collecting when removing programs etc.

If you can find it i can give you a seriel for it Wink

No offence but i wouldn't suggest a format myself. I personally use a format as a last resort when nothing else works. It's not worth the time or effort.

Just PM if you would the key for it Smile

I format every 6 months, just because I like too. It makes my computer feel brand new again and I just love the way it runs every so smoothly...for about 3 days or so Rolling Eyes

LOL i couldn't be bothered with that but due to recent HDD problems which will be fixed tomorrow that should fixed since i've just ordered 2 SATA drives (250GB of course Very Happy) i had to format nearly every weekend which was a bit of a pain.

But i wouldn't go as far as formatting every 6months, i have too much installed application wise to be bothered. But every user to there own preference Smile
