RegInOut…..and other registry cleaners?

October 19, 2009

Has anybody here used a registry cleaner called RegInOut ? On the internet, it is mooted as being one of the best. There are so many of these registry cleaners and each is supposed to be THE best. And yet when you Google the product, all sorts of very conflicting reports surface, confusing someone of my computer knowledge (or rather lack of it), even more. I keep on hearing the name CC Cleaner : I know it is free, but is it good ? Free does not equate to efficient and/or safe. My long-winded question is : which registry cleaners (if any) do people here on Yahoo Answers use ? And what, may I ask, is your experience and honest unbiased assessment of these softwares you entrust your computers with ? In past, I have always received very good advice from Yahoo Answers — and hence, I am back for (hopefully) more of the same. I thank you all in anticipation.

Take care

PS During product (re)search on Google, I was pleasantly surprised to read somewhere that RegInOut originates in Rawalpindi, Pakistan : is this true ? This is something quite new to me. But then again, as I said earlier, I am not the most computer-savvy person you are going to encounter anytime soon.

After hibernation, the internet dosent work. One tech to another.?

September 23, 2009

Hi, I’m a service tech for software and digital systems (medium level nerd wizard, I still have alot to learn)

I have a situation where the internet works after bootup, obtains an IP address automaticaly for the ISP, the internet connection is through a high speed DLS modem.

When the internet is working, I checked the IP address and noted it. After hibernation, the IP has changed (all four value) and it is out of range. The subnet mask has also changed, and of course the gateway.

I tried the usual diagnostic processes, checked my internet settings, repaired connection, disabled/enabled connection, ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew, all with no success. In a moment of desperation I even tried to define the IP address manually within the old range, that does not work either.

I have read the similar questions on this issue, and most of the answers included changing settings so the computer does not hibernate or hibernates less frequently. In this case, that is not going to be a satisfactory solution to my problem.

I just created my yahoo answers account, so I probably dont deserve any help, but if one of you genuises can help me out here, I promise to re-contribute to the good karma fund, and to smile and be nice to everyone I see for the rest of the day. *tailgaters and idiot drivers not included.

Thanks for reading.

Everytime I type words like "fix computer errors" on the searh bar here on yahoo answers I always see websites on the right side of yahoo answers saying something like fix computer errors, and when I click them they are registry fixers or cleaners.
