Cleaning the Registry

Run Regseeker.

Reinstall Flash Player.

Run Regseeker scan again.

That list would be the list not to delete.

Well guys I didn't get to 65 not knowing how to keep a computer cleaned up and running way past time for a clean install. So you guys do what you want and I will do like I always have. I can't afford new ones any more so my wife and I just live with it now. We do have a few computers that we use so if one goes down we grab another one and keep on going will I reload and get it back running.

I defrag maybe 4 times a year on my computer but have to do it more often on the home one. She does real work on it so it needs it often. I just search and post on my forums so I don't have the clutter.

I really doubt anyone will even have an answer for me on my post. But thought I would give it a try anyway.

The problem that I was having and what made me use the cleaner and after doing so things would go back to normal again untill I did the same thing again and the cleaner would fix it again. It has nothing to do with Flash Player but every time in the past that I would use the program I would have to reload FP. I had not realized what was going on untill this time that my cleaner was removing something that really didn't need to be removed so FP would keep on working like normal. It showes me every thing tha it found in my registry and most of it say file not found or not used or opens with and so on. So there has to be one or more things that is found that I should not remove but heck if I know what one or ones that would be? It is just one of thoes pesky little problems that happen and can be fix easy so you just live with it and go on.

My son uses the same program and he has no problem. I use the same program on the home computer and it has no problem with the player but effects something else that has to be reloaded and I do hear the wife fussing about it untill she does what the popup tells her to do and case closed.

Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. And for sure we need a better year!!!!

Thanks

I fully agree with Xircal's statement above.  So-called "registry cleaners" will not do anything positive for your Windows system, but very likely mess things up.

If you feel that your system is running slow, then it is most likely because too much memory is used by unneeded startup programs.  Remove any unnecessary items from the startup list, but leave the registry alone.

Also, defrag your Windows partition once in a while (a few times per year).

Why do you want to clean the Registry? Back in Windows 95/98 days, that may have speeded things up a little, but not today. Operating systems are much faster now and deleting old apps from the registry doesn't really achieve anything in spite of what the programmers may tell you.
