Registry How do i clear my registry?

You need to clear your Windows Registry, I think. The Windows registry keeps growing as long as you use your computer. Whenever you install or uninstall software, add or remove hardware, or change your computers settings, a new entry is inserted into the Windows registry. Over time, your registry will be accumulated with a large number of obsolete, redundant and invalid entries and registry holes, which make your system increasingly unstable, run more slowly and crash more frequently.

Hey Racebooker,

You can solve this problem by:

-- cleaning system junk
-- optimizing computer services
-- optimizing internet
-- repairing registry
-- defraging registry
-- clearing browsers junk

do these things with some secure tool such as Intel Software Partner Reginout.

Thank You...

Your machine is old, there's not much you can do. Remove any programs you don't use, stop programs from starting-up with the OS, and increase your RAM: http://www.crucial.com/index.aspx

There are many free and effective registry cleaners. You can use Ccleaner (which I highly recommend). You can download Ccleaner from here (click here). It's bundled with System Cleaner, Registry Cleaner and other utilities. Run the System cleaner and the registry cleaner. Check the startups and also verify all the services from the Task Manager.

Sometimes some virus can't be removed if they really infected some files, in that case, you better reinstall the windows (full format), but remember, during the backup or file transfer, don't simply copy/paste, instead use the wizard like "backup" or "Files and Settings Transfer"..

If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Clearing the registry entries If deleting and scanning for the CD/DVD drivers in the Device Manager does not resolve the problem, you should remove the drivers and uninstall the burning software, and then perform the following steps. Uninstalling the software should force the registry to clear the CD/DVD entries; however, this may not work if the registry is corrupted. Follow the steps to manually clear the registry entries. NOTE: You may need to uninstall and reinstall software applications that are able to burn CDs/DVDs after performing this step. Therefore, do not perform this step if you do not know how to reinstall your CD writing software. Uninstall all CD writing software (Roxio Creator, Cyberlink Power2Go, etc...) using add/remove programs. For more help, you can read Cannot Remove or Uninstall Software .
