Clean and Speed-up Windows XP/Vista
The registry is at the center of any computer that is running Windows. It has information about how your system works and appears. Errors in the registry can cause big problems with your computer ranging from slow shutdown and error messages to not being able to startup at all. How to Repair the Windows Registry, Step by Step You will often get error messages that will tell you what you can do to fix it when there is a problem with the registry. Because there are too many to list here, you should go to the Microsoft Support Center if you have a specific registry error or try one of the many registry cleaners that are available online. These error messages will often tell you which registry key is corrupted and if you are comfortable with your system, you can go into the registry and try to fix the key yourself. One caveat about getting into the registry – changing one key incorrectly can severely damage your system, so you need to be very careful. Make sure all of your data is backed up and set a System Restore point so that you can roll back the system if there are any problems.
