So every time I try to cut on my laptop it starts but this Start Up repair thing keeps popping up instead of going to my log in screen. It always ask would i like for windows to attempt repairs and I always click yes but it never gets repaired. After going through the same thing 3 or more times it goes to another screen that states "start up repair cannot repair the computer automatically" so I always choose to send the information about the problem. When I come off that screen i choose to always advance view advanced options for system recovery and support. I fill out all the info that they request (country, screen name, & password) and they give me the choices of: start up repair (which i automatically do and it gets me nowhere), system restore (which i do from this point but once i shut down my lap top then use it, shut it down when i’m done, and then cut it back on I have to go through the whole start up repair process over again, windows complete PC restore (idk what a backup image is), windows memory diagnostic tool (did it yesterday and it said there was nothing wrong with my memory), command prompt, and dell factory image restore (if i do this will it erase all my documents and things like music that i have already saved to my computer? seeing that it restores my system software to factory condition)

Please help!!! Idk what I did so hopefully one of you will help me!

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!

I’m getting a laptop next week and I have no idea what virus protection I should get for it. My three choices are Avg, Avast, and Avira. What virus protection do you use?
