My computer’s been freezing up lately and I’m pretty sure it’s due to registry errors. So I’ve been looking for registry cleaners on the internet to help solve my problem. Thing is, I don’t know which freeware registry cleaner is the best.

So if you guys could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

ok, so i was F*ing around in my registry editor and i messed up i guess, my computer now opens programs SLOWLY!

now please, when i say free i mean all of it is free. I do not want to download it scan my computer and than be prompted to register so i can fix the problems that it scanned. If the registration is just giving out an email, that is ok, but don’t bring pay pal into this.

Are there any softwares that can scan my computer to tell me what kind of video and sound card I have? I need the drivers, but I don’t know what kind of sound and graphics card I have.

Such as those that protect against malware, spyware, viruses, worms, etc.? What effectively cleans the registry and repairs corrupt desktop icons? A few examples that I know of are Spybot, Avira, CCleaner, and ZoneAlarm. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I’m told that even though one defrags and frees up disc space and/or deletes programs–info still remains in the "Registry" what the heck is that and how do I clean it out (when do you clean it?)
