usually the registry utility will tell you that there are errors in the registry .
But the truth is there are no errors, it is the normal state of the system.
The software provider just encourage you to buy a licensed from them for their business....

I have tried similar programmes, we can fix 75 % but to fix the rest you need to buy the programme!!! DON'T
i use 3 different ones Toni Arts Easy Cleaner[ very good]
Windows Registry Repair pro and One Care Advisor from Windows Hotmail which does the whole lot inc defragging and disc clean up but these can be disabled by clicking custom and ticking ones you don't want the programme to deal with if you don't have have hotmail look for it on google/live.com., Some may say free on google etc but in fact
are not because they only work for a temporary time, freewaresites.com could help also.

You can fix the problem yourself by going
RUN>regedit
this brings up your registry. If you see the pathname of the problem go ahead and find it and see if you can alter it.
The problem is you may delete or alter something that is crucial and end up with a knackered PC. I would export your registry first to your desktop, by going
FILE>EXPORT
basically making a backup of your registry. Dont worry however.I always have around 60 problems and they dont do anything to your computer. It is worth getting a free registry editor and running this, or pay the $40 to be sure. Or, like me leave it, as it wont do you any harm at all!!!

It manifests itself as a popup every 2 or 3 mins only when logged on to the internet ?. I've got this prob and I'm trying to get rid of it. I have used another registry cleaner but I still get dire warnings from them that my comp is about to crash - it hasn't yet. I downloaded a prog called "Freefixer" which when run in safe mode pulls a lot of stuff that may or may not be a problem. I am currently Googling anything I cannot recognise as Windows to get rid of the popup. You can get free registry cleaners, try Googling for a freebie but do not buy from them

You will probably find that all of the 1001 ' problems' have been introduced by the program that you downloaded!
However, to double check, go here http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Registry-Tweak/Windows-Registry-Recovery.shtml
or you can try 'tweakui' on Microsofts downloads (free)

Don't bother paying for it unless the problems that the program has found in your computer are effecting its performance, many of these things are just scams.

I downloaded a similar program. Didn't bother paying for it though, and my PC is fine.
