Registry problems can occur for many reasons, including references left behind after uninstallations, incorrect software removal, missing or corrupt hardware drivers, or orphaned start-up programs. Problems with the Windows system registry are a common cause of Windows crashes and error messages.

Finally, I express my gratitude to Regsofts for donating this excellent program as 'Freeware' with the option to donate.īack to product details Add your review.Free Registry Cleaner is a registry repair utility that allows you to safely clean and repair Windows system registry issues in a few mouse clicks. At least they are for me! With such beneficial applications available for PC/Registry maintenance it would be exasperating to create conflict/corruption by inadvertently restoring an incorrect 'Back-Up' to the Registry.

I find dates, times and numbers are inadequate to recall the exact nature of the error I fixed. If there is a downside and find this with all software designed for this specific purpose, while it is a real bonus to be able to 'Back-Up', I wish developers would incorporate a method for the 'User' to personally identify each back-up. It proved to integrate very well with Windows '98 and is very 'User-Friendly'. However, with Free Window Registry Repair I was, both, impressed and pleasantly surprised. I am reluctant to install v1.0 of any software, suspecting it will have 'bugs'. I don't trust many but this seems to be a fairly solid tool. That's a plus for any registry fixing software. It has a back up option (WHICH I SUGGEST CHECKING PRIOR TO FIXES) just in case, it's in the options, maybe should be pre checked in such a case and give the user a pop up asking to back it up or not.Įither way, it found numerous errors, repaired them, the pc I used it on is running far better now, smooth, no issues. That said, I sat here thinking it would be done or it was repeating through the same registry, no, it's just that thorough. I was impressed with the thoroughness of the scan albeit for a full scan, you should go to your local coffee shop, grab a cup of jo, have a conversation for an hour and a half or let it run when you go to bed, it takes a bit. If you find you have issues and need to do a registry scan and repair, I would suggest this. Typically, if you have no issues, don't mess with the registry, period.
