Have you run it and if so, what did it do to the Roxio keys that other "good" cleaners screw up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerman Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 RegCure is by far the best Registry Cleaner out there right now. http://registrycleanerguide.org/7fjw/ Check it out... I disagree. I tried it and it messed up EMC9 on a system. I only tried it once but that was enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Regcleaner will kill the defective Roxio registry keys, same as any half-decent cleaner. I'm just finishing some research on these, and hope to post in a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDWAGON Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just a suggestion---Get a copy of the latest "Maximum PC" magazine and read all about RegCure. You might be surprised to read what it has to say !! I know I won't use it !! Frank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijar Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have been cleaning the errors after scan without deleting any Registry keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Dave Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have been using JV16 Powertools and it works well with Roxio. Also, it has compaction capabilities which will improve performance if you can measure it. It's a darn good product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDWAGON Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Maybe I missed it, but has some addressed the first question posed by this topic -- the benefits of a registry cleaner? What are the benefits? One thing that you will find advantagous using REG cleaners is that you can search on a word or phrase and it will go through and find every instance of the search and then you can decide what action to take about all of the finds, or parts of the find. As opposed to the MS registry where you can search on a word but then you have to decide at each find what to do--leave, modify or delete, and that can take forever sometimes. Frank...

Big_Dave Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Many software manufacturers use the registry as a DB, often beyond what it was intended to be used for. Even when used properly, once the entries, temporary or other wise are deleted, holes of used space are left behind. From a performance view point, the registry becomes bloated, thereby taking more time to navigate through to locate entries. The size on disk is therefore larger than a "compacted" registry. Indexed or not, searching bloated DBs take more time. Leaving the "dead" entires behide usually doesn't cause a problem. Problems do occur when during the install or uninstall process doesn't properly unchain used entries. This is evidenced by uninstall processes that fail to remove entries from the registry leaving the behind parts of the program on disk and still being listed in the Control Panel under programs. This can result in reinstallation problems for some programs as it sees the program as already installed. Perhaps when "Windows 7" comes out, the registry will be replaced with another mechanism. However, that will cause much change with program installation and removal. You might see errors like what are displayed below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Raji, When you post a question, leave it alone afterwards. Your original post was answered, but your edited first post is quite different. I use Regedit and Regseeker as my registry cleaners. Regseeker is free, and recommended on the Sun Java site.

gi7omy Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Dave Don't hold your breath expecting any major changes in Windows 7 - basically it's just going to be Vista SE (same kernel, same problems) http://searchwinit.techtarget.com/news/art...&uid=762329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
