From: Barbara on 8 Jul 2010 11:09 Unable to find any specific category for a registry question so am posting the question here. The registry on the computer needs to be cleaned. Most of the errors I am getting are related to registry problems. I am not computer knowledgeable to clean the registry manually. I wonder if someone could suggest a good, reliable and trustworthy registry cleaner software and that would not be too expensive. Thanks! -- Barbara

You can try CCleaner at http://www.ccleaner.com/ Be sure and make a back up before fixing anything and run it THREE times to catch everything. -- Peter

But you don't mention what the errors are, so you're not going to get any help on that here. > I am not computer knowledgeable to clean the registry manually.

You may have errors or corruption in the registry, but no automatic "Registry Cleaner" is likely to fix them. You really need to address the specific problems, not apply the kind of inappropriate shotgun approach that so-called Registry Cleaners take. If you decide to use one, be sure to make a complete backup, in case the "cleaning" kills it entirely. Most likely it will just be a waste of your time and things will be just as bad as they were before.
