running windows xp and when I get to a web site requiring active x I get into an install adobe flash cycle. Reboot and still wont launch the video. Found some error messages and it mentioned registry may be at falut or something like that. Used a program called Registry Clean Fix, downloaded from web, and tried the install adobe active x flash player again. No avail. Got an idea?

I saw the new “Aro 5” Registry Cleaner advertised today.
The free edition, like many others, offers to scan and fix 20 errors.

It scanned and found 1040 errors.

So what in a Registry is worth fixing, and what is just collected “junk”?

The choices are:
Active X and COM
Application Paths
File Types
Help Files
History Lists
Shared Files
Shortcuts
Software
Sounds
Start Menu
Deep Scan
Current User

Are any of these cleaners actually worth their weight?
Thanks!
