is there any free PC backups,registry cleaners, etc.?

Question

I need to clean my registry; computer has no free space not even enough to defragment! Any suggestions?

Answer 1

This doesn't "pass the smell test." If I were you, I would first do a full virus scan. Then, do some housecleaning:

- Are you using a complex screensaver - it runs in the background and eats memory.

- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.

To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
-cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
-cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
-then cl Remove.
-This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.

-Are you in a large file? If so, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.)

1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix);

2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

3.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

After you have done all these things, try a defrag.

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.

download.com has a program called advanced system optimizer. it's free to download but it is only like a 30-day use period and then you have to buy a license to continue using it and that costs about $30. be careful about what you let it delete from your computer, though. I let it clear out a lot of stuff on my old computer and it really screwed up my registry and my whole computer.

Answer 5

1. Use registry cleaner which can be downloaded from www.downloaad.com

2. For defragmentation please take back up of some files in CD or DVD. then delete those files from PC to free up space and run defragmentation. After defragmentation you may copy the files to your HDD again.

Answer 6

Cleaning up your registry won't help in that case. Go through the computer files and delete what isn't needed. Remove programs you don't use, delete multimedia files you don't need, etc.
