Wow... you really are in the dark as to this (RegCure) snake oil,
aren't you? Why don't you surf through these results and see for yourself:

http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geuoyAXQVMXx8ARCNXNyoA?p=how+to+repair+site%3Adcclifecare.com&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-501&sao=0

Notice anything in common in all the results? Even the bogus comments
are the same on all the pages.

Now take a look at the results from another bogus domain from these same
snake oil salesmen:

http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oG72WWXQVMix4ADA1XNyoA?p=how+to+repair+site%3Asubnixus.com&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-501&sao=0

Now look at their prognosis for 0x0000009c error:

http://www.dcclifecare.com/list/0x0000009c.html
http://www.subnixus.com/stop-error-codes/0x0000009c.html

and look at another post from another bogus site from a Mr. Ted Kwong,
another one of their bogus "Computer Specialist":

http://www.pctuneupadvisor.com/technical-support/0x0000009C.php?yid=512696&OVRAW=0x0000009C&OVKEY=0x0000009c&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=25590807013&OVKWID=287503937513&OVCAMPGID=955549013&OVADGRPID=9323029401&OVNDID=ND1

Go ahead, click on these links and see for yourself!

So what do you think of a company who would setup bogus sites and have
bogus "Computer Specialists" give out such outrageously erroneous
information? For this particular company, their products, and
"specialists", the terms snake oil and hucksters are well deserved.

For any and all who would want to know, 0x9C errors are Machine Check
Exception errors thrown by the processor when it detects hardware
problems, hardly has anything to do with the registry and no registry
cleaner will ever be able to repair this!

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329284
Stop error message in Windows XP that you may receive: "0x0000009C

It really is laughable, do a search on these bogus sites for other well
know errors which have absolutely nothing to do with the registry and
you will get the same kind of bogus advice and nonsense from these crooks!

John,

You are making an incorrect assumption. I did "surf" (Google) on
*many* registry cleaners. Even tried/tested others.

I just have the opinion that Regcure is good AND I have been using it
for years on my home system, and have absolutely no problems. Not one
fault or crash. Even tested it at work (WinXP) on our IT Test rig,
again no problems at all.

Note I have been in the business for over 30yrs now. I am NOT a
novice.

How long have you been using Windows?

You might have been in business for 30 years but with all due respect it
doesn't make you any less gullible! RegCure is snake oil peddled by
scam artists and still with your 30 years of experience you've been had
by these con artists!

You want to get the ultimate scam? See this from the same bunch of cons:

How to Fix Paretologic Errors
http://www.fix-pc-tools.com/?kw=Paretologic&t202id=51627&t202kw=&OVRAW=paretologic%20error%20fix-pc-tools.com&OVKEY=paretologic.com&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID=38089977513&OVKWID=403807122013&OVCAMPGID=1311110513&OVADGRPID=13361367401&OVNDID=ND1

Now that is the ultimate 'circular' scam! It doesn't get any better
than that, screw up peoples computers with one scam then scam them again
with another scam to fix the first scam! There are countless bogus web
sites from these same guys and they all push the same scam and the same
useless products.

You, as a computer specialist, would recommend these products and steer
your customers toward these Canadian scam artists? If one of your
customers were to call you telling you that they were experiencing 0x9C
errors would you have them run a registry cleaner? Or how about this
idiotic nonsense from the same bunch of crooks:


Are You Having Trouble with Error Permission Denied?

Problem: Error Permission Denied is caused by missing system files or
broken system registry structures....

http://error-repair-help.com/support/l1_Permission-Denied.html?OVRAW=stop%3A%200xc5%20permission%20error&OVKEY=error%20permission%20denied&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID=33519963521&OVKWID=273900978521&OVCAMPGID=6314428521&OVADGRPID=13842720409&OVNDID=ND1

Would you have your customers run a registry cleaner to "repair" Access
Denied errors? And you approve of these scams? Do you think that
Access denied errors are caused by "missing system files or broken
system registry structures"?

Need to know more... read on:

http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geuvC8qwZMhX4BttOl87UF?p=paretologic+scam&fr=yfp-t-501&fr2=sfp&iscqry=

Why would any self respecting professional with 30 years of experience
push these products and steer his customers to scams operated by
unscrupulous individuals devoid of any morals? If you must push
registry cleaners at least push the ones from honest individuals and
companies rather than the ones from crooks and pariahs!


> How long have you been using Windows?

Completely irrelevant to registry cleaning scams by Paretologic but if
you must know I cut my teeth on Novell networks atop DOS backbones and
we adopted the NT platform in 1996.

No I would not.

Regcure is not meant to fix on-going problems with systems. No
registry cleaner is a "fix specific problem" utility. They are meant
to find POTENTIAL problems that MAY be caused by errors in the
Registry, like references to non-existing files.

What I use registry cleaners (Regcure and others) for is to remove
Registry entries left behind by poorly written Uninstallers. A good
uninstaller (and there are a few) remove everything, including
Registry entries for the uninstalled software.

One way to identify products with poorly written Uninstallers is when
full uninstall requires download (from the publisher's support) a
special "cleanup" utility for the software.

Hay, good John, another old-timer.

My first computer TRS-80 (CP/M), True-IBM no-HD (MS-DOS), now build my
own systems running WinXP SP3.

Professional: Desktop PCs starting in the same period as you (in USN),
Novel Server (Production Test Server at Unisys), built/tested
Mainframes at Unisys (used a combination of WinXP, Unix, Customized
Win2003 Server), computer controlled (WinXP) Phone Switching
equipment, have a Linux (Ubuntu) Notebook now (for self-training).



Also, I am NOT saying that Regcure does not have problems. But, in a
collage-level class I took (required by Unisys) the instructor brought
out that with ANY product you will get 6 customer complaints for every
1 customer praise (if you're lucky). What you read, or get responses
to, will be heavily weighted to those having problems but that is not
an accurate measure of any product because it is not balanced by those
who find the product fills their expectations.


So, if you had problems with Regcure, then don't use it.

I have the "Regcure Pro v3" installed on my home WinXP SP3 system, and
(as I've said) been using it for several years now without any
problems. BUT I do not use it to FIX problems, I use it as a
*preventative* cleanup tool for the Registry.



By the way, have any opinion on "Comodo System Cleaner" (includes a
Registry Cleaner)? This is what we use at work on our (Win2003 Server
STD) Fileserver.
http://system-cleaner.comodo.com/

But again, it's not used to FIX problems (and we have none to date). I
would not recommend this for the non-techie home user.

It does have one fault, the "exclude from next scan" feature *seems*
not to work properly. I just never use it.
