Also known as registry repair tools or registry cleaners, these utilities are usually 100% automatic.  In other words, once they are installed on your Windows based PC, they will scan the entire Windows registry for any kind of problem at the click of a mouse button.  Then, after you give the utility program the okay with another mouse click, this same utility will re-scan the entire registry once again, and fix all the problems it has found.

Usually referred to as registry cleaners, registry clean utility programs are inexpensive and there are even free versions.  Of course, the free ones don’t include the part of the program that actually fixes the registry problems.  Still, even these are useful if you are trying to find out why your computer is not performing well.  In such a case you can find out if it is registry corruption behind your computer’s poor performance and then you can decide whether or not you need to buy the registry cleaner.  It very often is registry corruption behind poor computer performance.

  Registry cleaners have become necessary with today’s computers because registry corruption is such a big problem in the modern operating systems.  While it is true, six or seven years ago registry corruption was hardly a big problem at all, it can is now because of the multitasking capabilities of the computers of the day and high speed Internet connections.

Because of these things, a lot of information is constantly being thrown around our PCs and this means the registry is bound to develop corruption.  What does registry corruption do to our computers?   It will make computers slow down, sometimes dramatically and it can also cause errors and crashes.  It can even be responsible for fatal blue screen errors, otherwise known as the blue screen of death!

The reason registry corruption has this affect on computers employing Windows operating systems is the corruption gives the operating system large blocks of inaccurate information it must work around in order to get its job done.  The OS has to sort through this corruption and discover which information is true and which is not.  Naturally, this takes time because the operating system has to take many, sometimes millions of extra steps to do just one operation.

Often registry corruption is referred to as false pointers.  This is because the registry points the operating system toward its next instruction.  If this pointer is a false one Windows has to perform an unnecessary step getting nothing done.  So, it must backtrack, look at another pointer and go from there.  Hopefully, this next step will  not be another unproductive one.  If it is, Windows will have to try again.

In the meantime, all these extra steps are making the computer operator wait as he/she taps his/her feet hoping to get
 some results.  Of course, many of these unproductive operations in succession will result in a computer error or maybe even a blue screen crash!

After a registry check locates all the false pointers in the registry a good registry cleaner should be used to flush out all this bad stuff.  Most times the registry check and clean programs are contained in the same software package and invariably this program is called simply, a registry cleaner.

Using a good registry cleaner will take care of registry corruption problems in usually 10-15 minutes.  This will get a slow computer back up to speed and eliminate PC errors.  However, beware there are sub par registry cleaners on the market and these can sometimes do more harm than good!

The internal registry utility which is built into Windows XP is Regedit.  It is accessed through the “run” command.  Windows Vista has the same tool but it accessed in a different manner.  It is not recommended anyone use the Regedit utility because if a wrong entry were made into it, the computer could fail altogether.  Regedit use to be all a technician or anybody else had in order to get into the registry and repair any problems inside it.  Since this was prior to the advent of registry cleaners Regedit was the only tool we had to try to repair our failing registries , so sometimes we had no choice but to use it. 

Now, fortunately registry cleaners abound and they will take care of the job of freeing our registries of corruption, automatically!  The advantages of using a good registry cleaner over trying to repair a registry using Regedit are many.  Among these advantages are:

• A good registry cleaner will not cause any harm to your registry in the way using the registry utility, Regedit potentially could.
• No training is needed to use a registry cleaner.
• Free scans are available so you will know whether or not you need a registry cleaning before you go ahead and purchase one.
• A good registry cleaning utility will have additional functions in the software program that will increase your computer’s speed in ways impossible if you simply cleaned the registry of corruption.  One such operation the best registry cleaners perform is “registry optimization.”

In short, registry cleaners are the registry utilities that take all the hard work a computer owner used to be faced with when he or she was trying to perform the formerly arduous task of getting and keeping a PC fast and error free.

A registry cleaner, on the other hand, will check the registry for errors and then repair them, or clean the registry of any errors and corruption it finds.  Actually, there is no such thing as a pure registry checker.  This is true even though a registry cleaner checks for errors and corruption in the early stages of its operation.

Besides Microsoft registry checker, registry cleaners are also known as Microsoft registry cleaners, Windows registry cleaners, registry scanners and registry repair software or programs.

The problem can be with the installation disk or other type of media.  However, this is usually not the case with a new product.  Without getting involved with dealing directly with the .net framework, running a good registry cleaner will tell you if corruption in the operating system’s registry could be the problem.

A registry can build corruption for a number of reasons, but how it got there is not important because over time registry corruption buildup is inevitable.  Also, a top notch registry cleaner will give you a free registry scan so you can see if corruption is the problem before you make a registry cleaner a part of your computer maintenance arsenal.

The bottom line is, most computer errors are registry problems and most times a good registry cleaner will cure this problem so using one as soon as an error is encountered is a logical plan of action.

Error 2337

Microsoft describes a repair scenario for a 2908 error where the user goes into MSCONFIG to tackle the
problem.  Thank goodness for registry cleaners because now that they are available you don’t have to follow such a procedure anymore.  MSCONFIG can be usful in desparate situations, but you should be aware that as soon as you enter MSCONFIG, all your restore points are erased!

While the 2908 is no longer a common error, its type is still very common and most errors of this type are registry errors.  An alphanumeric sequence on the screen that looks anything like the one above is a dead give away registry corruption is behind the problem.

I’ve heard many people say they reformatted their hard drives because of these types of errors but all that was necessary was running a good registry cleaner.

When a registry has irregularities that need repairing, it is said to be a corrupt registry.  Registry corruption slows down computer speed because when corrupted a registry processes a certain amount of information inaccurately, it will have disregard these inaccurate operations and try again in order to complete the calculation correctly.  This of course, wastes time.

A very corrupted registry will cause computer errors, crashes and even occasionally, the blue screen error.

In a very simplified sense, registry corruption is nothing more than pointers that leads to either the wrong place or no place at all.  With the older smaller operating systems the amount of time it took to carry out a few false operations was negligible.

In the new, very large operating systems, one false pointer can lead the operating system hunting for a long time before it discovers the hunt will bear no fruit.  Multiply this type of useless operation by thousands, maybe even millions and you will have an idea of the effect registry corruption has on your computer’s speed.

In short, the effect registry corruption has on your computer is that it will slow down all its operations.  Sometimes the corruption will slow your computer down to where it cannot accomplish anything.  Also, registry corruption will make your computer operate inefficiently.

Operating inefficiently means you’ll likely see many Windows registry errors such as a runtime error r6025.  Of course the biggest error of them all is the blue screen of death, and more times than not it is registry corruption that causes the blue screen.  The only way to be sure registry corruption never develops or to eliminate the corruption that is already in the registry is to use a registry cleaner.

I estimate a registry cleaner would, indeed, solve a runtime error 90 to 95% of the time.  However, be aware of the great deceiver, malware.  Since malware invades registries it can cause the registry to corrupt in such a way it would be prone to runtime errors.  In this case, a regisatry cleaner would cure the registry problem but in a short time the malware would corrupt the registry again causing the runtime error to raise its ugly head once more.

To be sure you fix this error, make sure your virus cleaner is capable of areesting all malware. Most virus cleaners are not.  So, you may have to run  a top notch spyware cleaner such as antispyware plus.  Then after you are sure you are malware free, run the registry cleaner.

Runtime Error r6025

Usually, the XP running slow problem stems from corruption in the registry.  It is not abuse responsible for this corruption.  Registry corruption is virtually unavoidable.  So, the only thing a computer owner can do is use a registry cleaner regularly.  This should be done after a virus and spyware scan, but not necessarily  after every virus/spyware scan.  Usually, you can get away with using a registry cleaner weekly.

For what it is worth, Windows XP home seems to corrupt more quickly than XP Professional.  Though Windows Vista’s registry corrupts more slowly than XP’s, it will develop registry corruption, it is just a matter of time.

So that you will be sure to know the free registry cleaner has cleaned all it is going to for free, the registry software will execute a pop-up on you desktop telling you you better buy their product now!    This pop-up has no close button and and it seems to follow you around wherever you surf.   To get rid of this pop-up you have to go to the task manager (cntrl-alt-del) and try to close it there.

Have you heard enough?   Me too!  Still there’s more.  To use the previously referred to as free registry cleaner in the first place, you have to register your copy with the company.   This means they get your email address so they cansend lots of email telling you it’s time to pay for this free product!

It is also worth taking note that most of these registry cleaners don’t mention anything about being Vista ready which means they are really not up date cleaners and probably don’t measure up in many other ways, either.

The bottom line is; these free registry cleaners are anything but free.  In fact, after the first 50 incidents of corruption are cleaned, the cleaner becomes about the most expensive one on the market!

Going without a registry cleaner in this day and age could be likened to computer infanticide.  Choosing one on the sole basis of price is not a wise move, either.  If you don’t know which registry cleaner to get, try to find a trusted source who will give you a recommendation.  Probably this trusted source should be a computer technician or a friend who has used the product.

In closing, a registry cleaner is an important computer maintenance tool because registries in today’s operating system become corrupted for a number of reasons.  One of these reasons is adware and spyware and temporary files are being removed from the hard drive all the time and this leaves corruption in the registry. So, to remove this corruption, a registry cleaner is needed.  However, as we have learned, a free one just doesn’t cut the mustard!
