Any Windows Vista Tools & Diagnostics programs worth buying?

November 7, 2009

I was a happy camper using system mechanic pro (ver. 6) but the latest verson (7) has been a pain in my side. I want to use some other software to maintain and speed up my computers but I don’t see the "best" one out there that I can use on Vista and XP.

Any REAL freeware registry cleaner that’s good?

June 17, 2009

I saw these ads for FREE registry cleaners and they all have been phony. THey scan and tell me I have anywhere from 200 to 700 errors depending on which one I used, then they say they fixed a few of them and urge me to buy the real program. I would rather they sy from the beginning that this is what they charge rther than lead one on.
So anyone know of a GOOD, REALL FREEWARE to fix registries?
Thanks for the tips all. DG and Shed – I downloaded the CCleaner – and it really was FREE and pretty fast. I even think my computer is running a bit faster – now if it stops locking up every once in a while I'm a very happy camper.

Did the CCleaner and it took oput a bunch of cookies – but fooled around with it and found a place where it took out lots of files and dlls etc etc etc that went nowhere. After I did that, I ran the MS defragger and now my computer runs about 30% faster and so far…no lock ups. Thanks!
