3 Easy Steps to Windows Registry Recovery

Common Windows Registry Problems 

Your computer will have registry problems sometime in its life. These problems can often appear as annoying error messages or in more serious cases, they may appear as random shut downs, restarts, or even worse preventing Windows from loading. Registry problems do get worse over time which leads to Windows machines getting slower over time.

Some common errors associated with Registry issues:

• You computer is sluggish - it takes an unusaully long time to boot up, or it just hangs while performing simple tasks.
• You get startup errors - errors saying "missing .dll" or "file not found" are common symptoms of registry related problems.
• Blue Screens - if you receive a blue "STOP error" screen, HUGE registry problem!
• Programs do not load - if your application refuses to start, the registry is often to blame.

Three easy steps to fix these annoying problems: 

Do Some General Windows Registry Cleaning

Be sure that everything else (besides the registry) is running properly before we begin with the registry cleaning process.

First get rid of any temporary files that may be on your PC. Just follow the steps below:

We will use the Disk Cleanup utility.

This utility will do a very basic cleanup of your drive, but cannot handle the more in depth cleaning tasks. You can access it by going to - Start- All Programs - Accessories - System Tools. 

Follow the on screen instructions and continue.

Next we will perform scans to make sure that your machine is indeed free of malicious spyware and viruses. We recommend you use a tool to check for malicious viruses and spyware.

If no errors occur, your problems likely lie in the registry, proceed to the second step of the process.

Track Down Windows Registry Errors 

Fixing the registry is not easy and trying to do it manually is not recommended as it can often lead to more problems than there were originally. We recommend automating the error detection process. Try Registry Easy's free scan to perform this diagnosis. Check it out here .


Let's Fix that Window's Registry 

We do not recommend attempting to repair the registry manually. This process can often result in loss of valuable data and time. Even the simplest of errors can require a ton of work to repair manually.

Instead, let's take the easier approach and use a tried and tested Registry Repair Software. Open up a copy of Registry Easy and get to work. If you don't have a copy grab it here.

Once downloaded and installed onto your computer Registry Easy is ready to begin cleaning. The first step it will take is to back up your entire registry as it was before the cleaning process began. Once this process is complete, lets simply scan the registry for errors. Follow the on screen instructions and wait for the results.

We are willing to bet that the scan results are quite worse than you expected to see. We have seen machines with over 10,000 registry errors! Now that we are ready to cleanup the mess, follow the on screen instructions to complete the cleanup.

We recommend doing a thorough registry cleanup once a week or bi-weekly at least. Think of your computer like a car, it requires consistent maintenance to continue performing at its best.
