Use a registry cleaner if your computer is slowing down

Post by Winston »

Hi all,
I wonder why Microsoft Windows doesn't come with a Registry Cleaner in their System Tools. It's so important and essential, because over time, as you install and uninstall programs, the registry fills up with junk and errors that cause your computer to slow down, crash more often, and slows down on startup. That's what happened to my laptop and I fixed the problem by using registry cleaners to clean out and defrag the registry, and resolve conflicts in the registry as well.

To find some registry cleaning software, just go to Google and enter in "Registry Cleaner". The ones that come up will be trial versions of course. But there is one that you can use over and over again called "Advanced Registry Optimizer" that you will see in the search results. That's the one I use. Even though the trial version only fixes 20 errors in the registry then asks you to pay, you can simply uninstall it and then reinstall it, and it will fix another 20 errors! You have to keep repeating this cycle to fix all the registry problems, but it's worth it as it's vital to the performance of your computer, and makes a very big difference indeed.

So if your computer is slowing down and crashing a lot, try these registry cleaning programs, or you can try to download a full version from pirateaccess.com, wtorrent, or bitlord.

I just wonder why Microsoft doesn't include such a utility in their system and maintenance tools? Their scan disk and defrag tools do nothing to clean and fix registry errors.

If the install package was done properly via installshield, it's supposed to do a clean uninstall. Unfortunately not everyone follows the guidelines.

Or just switch to Linux! ;) That's what I did and haven't used Windows since, and I'll never look back. No need for defrag, registry cleaners, spyware removers antiviruses.... Zero problems.

W: How do you switch to Linux? I thought that was only for office computer networks?

I did find a free registry cleaner though, at

Thank you for that. I just cleaned out my computer, and it's running much faster now.

Gawd Winston, you REALLY ARE a cheapskate aren't you? The cost for the software is less than $30 bucks. I know that when I ran the test they found 581 errors on my system. If I followed you usual "f***ed-up plan" I'd have to download the trial program 30 times to clean them all up.

Like most normal and honest people, I just spent the $30 and bought the program.

Those guys developed a good product. You yourself even said it was "vital to enhancing the performance of your computer". Why are you so against paying a fair price to recieve the benefits of a good product? Do you really feel you can skate through life getting everything of value for free? First it was lodging, then meals, then travel and now computer software? Where does it stop? When do you finally dig out your wallet and offer to pay a fair price for value received?

If a times comes where you develop a useful product and you go to the marketplace to try to sell it, you'll squeel the loudest when other people try to steal it from you; just like you've done to the guys at zoombi.

Just something to think about Winston. I know in response I'll get some f***ed-up Wu-logical explanation on why you were justified to steal the program from zoombi.

W: Yes Brad, I am a CHEAPSKATE and PROUD OF IT, DAMN IT!

You call me that as though it were an insult. Truth it, I'd rather be a cheapskate and have my freedom to do what I want in life, than to be a corporate slave like you just so I can spend generously.

The fact is, being frugal or cheap is a SURVIVAL TACTIC that is necessary if you have little or no income. I'm not ashamed of that. You might be, but not me. A man has a right to live his life the way he chooses, whether as a cheapskate or a spender.

Another reason is that I don't think software is worth $30. That is overpriced to me. And to a lot of other people too. That's why people rarely pay for shareware.

Besides, I download a lot of software. You expect me to pay $30 for all of them? GET REAL!

And speaking of cheapness, Brad you've enjoyed my Russia videos that I donated to you as a thank you present before. So why are you too CHEAP to purchase the rest of them? Surely for a man making $200,000 the prices are nothing to you. So why are you so cheap? lol

Just being honest Brad. Get real.

It's nothing to be proud of Winston.

I'm calling you a thief and that is an insult. Being without an income does not justify stealing. That's basically what you're doing when you download a trial program multiple times to fix a problem with your computer rather than buying the program.

I suppose there is some truth in that statement.

Then don't use the software. Don't say the price is not worth it and then steal the program anyway. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Do you have any kind of a moral compass? It doesn't appear you do. It would appear that any behavior or action that satisfies your immediate need is justified in your eyes, regardless of its morality or consequences.
WWu777 wrote: Besides, I download a lot of software. You expect me to pay $30 for all of them? GET REAL!
No I expect you to treat and respect the rights and creative efforts of others; like you would expect others to respect your rights and creative efforts. There is no justification for stealing. None of your f***ed-up Wu-logic can justify this behavior.

I'm not cheap Winston. Any video you've sent me in the past has long ago been sent to the trash bin in my computer. Fact is, I choose not to buy your tapes. They have no value to me in the least. I wouldn't pay $0.50 for your whole catalog of tapes and videos. Just because a person can easily afford something doesn't make him cheap for not buying it. A second reason is that I don't want to do anything that would make any contribution to the f***ed up lifestyle you are living. I CHOOSE not to give you any positive financial reinforcement.

Trash bin in your computer? LOL Brad can you explain how you threw a VHS hard cassette tape into your computer desktop trash bin? LOL LMAO!

Brad, this isn't about morality. It's about protecting business interests. The news for you is that not all people see corporate business interests as "morality".

Most people download music files off of Limewire, Bitcomet or other file sharing programs. And they download software too.

Everyone knows it. Even if they don't admit it.

Welcome to reality Brad.

This isn't the place to preach about software piracy though. Go to China and preach to the millions of software and music pirates there. They don't give a sh** cause they are just trying to make a living.

Bottom line is that both businesses and consumers are always looking for loopholes to save money. That's life.

Yes I forgot, You did send me a tape quate a few years back. If I remember correctly it was a gift and was not sent because of any request I made. Couldn't tell you where it is now.

You're wrong Winston. It's about paying your way through life instead of bumming your way through life. Most people "get it". Some, like you never do.

So the best Wu-logic you can come up with to defend your behavior is "everyone else is doing it"?

Absolutely true. But most don't resort to thievery in order to do so.

Downloading a program offered for free trial and not paying for it is NOT thievery.

I do not redownload it either. I merely reinstall it.

But enough with this issue Brad. You are wasting my precious time. Yours and mine. And you know how when you reach past 30, time becomes very precious. So stop it.

You are not going to convince me to throw away $30 for nothing. I'm not that gullible or impressionable. If you want to pay it, then go ahead. But don't try to force me to do something I don't want to do.

You just don't "get it" do you? The program owner provided a free trial of his software to allow you to remove 20 errors from your registry so you could evaluate how the program worked. This was to allow you to make a determination as to whether you wanted to buy the program or not. Logic is clear that if he wanted you to be able to remove all your registry errors with the trial version he would have not put the 20 error limit in the trial version. He NEVER intended for you to reinstall the program multiple times so you could avoid paying him for his intellectual and copywrited protected property.

Doing so is stealing. End of arguement. If you don't understand then your moral compass is seriously warped.

No problem Winston. Some people pay their fair share when they travel through life's journey - others bum their way through life riding the backs and the efforts of others. You clearly fall into the later category.

Everyone has their "price" for which they'll sell their honesty and integrity. We've identified your "price" as $30. That doesn't bode well for the quality of your honesty or integrity.

Integrity is something you display all the time. You either have it or you don't. By your actions, you're displaying you don't have even the smallest sliver of integrity.
