I have a corrupt registry – have lost use of my printer – get the dreaded "blue" screen or total "whiteout." Some dll errors, etc.I can’t seem to find a truly free deep registry cleaner just the scan. There are some "cleaners’ available, but they only do a very shallow clean. I have windows ME operating system!

Registry cleaners do not work well. Your problem stems probably from a much deeper issue, like a corrupt or missing DLL. You may even have a bad sector on the hard drive. The best thing you can do is to reinstall your operating system. If you don’t have a disc put Linux on it. Try Xubuntu, it will run on anything and be fast.

If you’ve gone that far, it’d be better to reinstall the O/S completely instead of trying to "patch" fix the registry.
Back up all the programs and data files, then do the "nuke it from orbit" reinstall. 🙂
