Is it necessary to do a registry repair?

John R. asked in Q&A:


I’m just wondering how necessary it is to run a registry repair / clean. Under what circumstances should a registry clean/repair be conducted? Which program do you recommend?

Thanks

    I recommend cleaning the registry and I use RegCure (there is many Registry cleaning programs out there)

    But if you want a free one check out this one it’s called “CCleaner”

    If you’re not having any problems, crashes, blue screens etc. then leave the registry alone.

    That said, there’s always broken/obsolete keys left over from re/un-installs.

    Download, install and run the ‘Registry’ part of this…

    If your system is running ok Don’t use registry cleaners they can make things worse.

    Registry repair is necessary if you have a lot of program files and your computer has become really sluggish and slow over time.

    If that’s the case, then I recommend Regcure which is a product I use on all the PC’s I service.

    CCleaner is good for most situations but if you have really deep problems then try Regcure. It usually works first time…
