I am not against paying for software to clean registry keys, but if there is a free trial version I can use it would help me pinpoint which registry keys need to be repaired.Plus I’m strapped for cash and need a site that can give me a find & fix trial version.If that’s possible!

i have a computer that is pretty virus-ridden and really can’t be saved. i’ve managed to back up everything before it stopped accepting usb drives and writable discs, which is good. i have a bunch of discs that dell sent me a while ago in order to do this. i have… (1) dell dimension resource cd, with device drivers, diagnostics and utilities, and computer documentations (2) reinstallation cd – windows xp professional service pack 2 (3) installation disc for roxio easy cd creator (4) disc for reinstalling dell tools system software – antivirus, support, multimedia, internet software. // now, which should i use first, and what exactly do i do? i know i should probably just call dell, but i hate phone support. i’d rather do it on my own.

or, alternately, where on the web can i find instructions to do this?

I have a program that will not open because I keep getting this message: "This application has failed to start because hprog.dll was not found."

So I searched for a program to repair dll, but all of the ones I have found (like RegCure or ParetoLogic) will not work with my computer. I keep getting this message: "Please note: During the installation of this software on your computer, we have detected that your version of Windows is 64 bit. RegCure (or whatever other program) can only be installed on 32 bit versions of Windows. Please click the "OK" button below to discontinue installation." So is there ANY program out there that can repair dll on Vista??? I am having trouble finding one.

If anyone can please help me out, please include detailed instructions as I am not super technically savvy. Thanks in advance!
I was actually trying to open my security program, because I suspected a virus anyway… I think I might have it figured out now, but at least now I KNOW I have a virus…

Thanks for your help.

I am tired of running "free" registry cleaners and then finding in the end that to finish the cleaning I will need to buy the program. I know there is a free program out there but I can’t find it. Can anyone direct me to a good site?
