Why You Need To Fix Your Registry Before The Real Problem Occurs

If you don't fix registry problems when they arise or try and prevent them from even happening at all, then you may soon find yourself faced with sudden crashes, system stalls, or a severe degradation in operating speed. It is important to understand that trying to fix registry problems after they occur is always more difficult than preventing them in the first place, so prevention is always preferred over working to fix your registry after the fact. Regardless of how long you've owned your system or how it's used, working to fix registry issues and prevent system crashes should be a top priority whether you use your computer for business or pleasure, and you'll find a greatly enhanced computing experience by doing so.

The Challenging Task...

Keeping a PC clean isn't easy with all of the different types of hardware, software and drivers available, so it's hard to say if your PC is clean without first analyzing your system's registry. Many find this an arduous and confusing task which is why more than 100,000 people each week turn to Registry Mechanic to keep their PC clean of registry problems or potential issues.

Keeping the registry of a PC clean of errors is critically important if you hope to prevent operating problems and boost system performance. Otherwise, you may find programs working slower than they should be, hardware performing at less than their potential, or your entire system crashing without warning.

If your PC is clean of registry errors then you will absolutely notice an end to slow, frozen, or unpredictable operation. In fact, if your system is already crashing or seizing for no apparent reason, then keeping your PC clean by fixing the registry and monitoring its activity may be the best solution.

Registry Housekeeping Tips

Before you can make your registry clean of errors or problems, it's important to first understand what a Windows registry is and what it does. Essentially, the Windows registry is a database that stores your system information and settings for the hardware, software, and general preferences used on your Windows machine. Ideally, keeping a registry clean isn't an issue because Windows' built-in registry tools tend to work in the background so that your system's integrity is protected. However, because the registry is so huge and complicated, and because it gets more convoluted every time changes are made, it can develop problems that cause strange behaviors or even bring down your entire system.

If you keep your registry clean of problems, conflicts and errors, then your system's performance will be greatly enhanced. However, if your registry becomes bogged down because of uninstalled software programs, orphaned startup tasks, corrupted drivers, or more, then you'll begin to notice a significant slowdown in speed. In addition, if you fail to keep your registry clean then you will almost certainly see a flurry of sudden crashes as your PC becomes more and more unstable.

Why Registry Mechanic?

Registry Mechanic uses a high-performance detection algorithm to quickly identify missing and invalid references in your Windows registry. These problems can occur for many reasons including being left-behind after the un-installation or incorrect removal of software, by missing or corrupt hardware drivers, or orphaned startup programs.

With a few easy steps Registry Mechanic will scan your entire registry for any invalid entries and provides a list of the registry errors found, you can then choose to selectively clean each item or automatically repair them all. For your convenience and protection Registry Mechanic can also make a backup of any repairs made so that you can easily recover any changes if required.
