Using Windows Vista Regitstry Repair Software

By: Cynthia Blake

Did you know that the Windows Vista registry is a known cause of several common computer problems? The registry is a very important part of your computer, and it is prone to damage and clutter.

You might have a registry problem if you have any of the following problems:


  • Frequent Errors
  • Crashes
  • Freezes
  • The Blue Screen Of Death
  • Sluggish Performance
  • Slow Bootups / Shutdowns


The Vista registry is basically the same as the other versions of Windows. It is the central storage area for important preference and settings files that tell Windows how to run software and hardware. Windows is always reading these files, and if there are lots of corrupt and obsolete entries then it gets bogged down trying to make sense of them.

How It Gets Cluttered

There are several causes for registry clutter and corruption. The most common is the incomplete uninstallation of software and hardware. Usually when you run an uninstaller it is supposed to remove all of the program, but this usually doesn't happen. Files and folders are commonly left behind, especially in the registry since it's so dynamic.

Cleaning The Registry

Although the registry is complicated, it's actually very easy to clear out the temporary and leftover files. It only takes a couple of minutes using a registry repair software tool. Using these software programs allows you to scan for obsolete and corrupt entries, and then remove them with the touch of a button.

Is It Safe?

Yes. Using a cleaner utility is very safe as long as you take proper precautions to back up your computer. Most registry repair utilities have the ability to backup and restore any changes made.
