Registry Repair Programmes Trad Jockey 7/12/2007 9:54:01 PM Our office PCs run very slow. I have seen a programme called XP Medic but couldn't find out much about it and it is not on any site I know enough to trust. Is there a programme for XP (and it's technologically challenged users) to easily correct the registry to optimise the running. I have done the basics like defragging, disk cleaning and spyware programmes. Any suggestions?

If your PCs are running very slow, you have other problems such as inadequate RAM (to just cite one reason). Jim

I don't know this particular program, but they are *all* snake oil. The registry doesn't need optimization. Using a program like this is far more like to create a problem than fix one. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup

Check the archives for "registry cleaners" -- as you should always do before posting a query.

If you do not know your registry as to what is safe to remove then do not even try to use them. Your Registry contains all the info needed to run your system and one misstep by the registry cleaner can have dire consequences -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.
