Answer 1

The latest version of the award-winning registry cleaner from Uniblue works great. It does a free scan and fixes few errors, but need to buy full product at a minimal cost to repair all.

Yikes, editing the registry can be perilous. Have you tried CCleaner? It works on all Windows OS. CCleaner has several tools one of which is a registry cleaner. You can download it http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/tech/

Someone already mentioned Easy Cleaner (http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/)
I've tried both and I preferred CCleaner over Easy Cleaner. Both are very similar and offers the same tools. And, both are free!

In my experience, registry cleaners come in 2 flavors. The first kind are very aggressive and find any registry keys which might be bad. However, they often mistaken valid keys for bad keys. The second kind is the "play it safe" cleaner which only displays keys which are obviously bad. Of course, since they err on the side of safety, they often miss things. CCleaner and Easy Cleaner fall in to the second category. If you want a more aggressive registry cleaner, try the free Eusing Registry Cleaner (http://www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleaner/registry_cleaner.htm).
