Windows registry trouble shooting

The widows registry is a very important part the computer as it functions as a central filling system of the computer and stores all the preference and settings. This includes information for administrative settings, file associations, permissions as well as individual user settings for software and hardware. Depending on the version of windows, the registry will be made up of different files and folders with different names and located in different places.

As you use your computer, it continually makes references to the registry and that is why when the registry is full of errors, clutter, or corrupted files, several problems arise; the most common being crashes , freezes , runtime errors ActiveX problems and a general sluggish performance.

The best way to fix registry errors is to use a registry cleaner software program like RegCure, unless you are an expert at it and know exactly what you are doing.
