Is buying a registry repair program worthwhile?
February 24th, 2010 | by admin |I downloaded Uniblue RegistryBooster trail just to see what it was and would do. It says that I have about 700-800 errors. Is getting this program and fixing registry errors worthwhile?
The windows registry is one of the most complex pieces of software ever written. It is the backbone of the operating system and is constantly being updated and repaired by modules such as regsrvr and regsrvr32.
The "errors" reported by these fear mongering utility vendors are for the most part already marked to be ignored and are not errors. In actuality, they may amount to a few hundred Kb of data which takes nano-seconds to process.
Also, why do these "magic" cure-alls make you acknowledge and release them from any responsibility if their product harms your system? Why do you think Microsoft doesn’t approve their use and warns about potential system failure whenever the registry is manually modified? If it where that big of problem why hasn’t Microsoft offered this utility?
It’s your choice. I personally won’t use them for anything other than to review what they find. If there is a real problem, Microsoft’s support website is where I’ll get information on how to deal with it. Check the event viewer for repeating errors if you are having problems. You can search for solutions using the event ID number.
