And then hope that the entries being removed don't belong to a program that you run infrequently, or provide support for infrequently used function of some program.

If they were, taking a restore point is of little use.

I also had a big problem with my computer with InstallShield error 1607 everytime I tried to install a software for my PDA. I tried to solve it by contacting the HP technical support department, tried the fixes recommended by the InstallShield company fixes , and every recommendation I could get from the Internet to no avail (even started to get other error messages). I decided to try RegCure, as a last resort, and it fixed my problem! I am not sure if other registry fixers would have done the same for me, but I am happy to have invested the $29.95 for this fix.

Out of curiousity, since this is your first post, what drew you to this site, to go through the registry process and then make this positive post about Regcure? And, even though you are running XP, in the Win9x forum.

Surely not any influence from the manufacturer!

Well, perhaps.

But here we have a person, who thinks Regcure is the greatest thing since sliced bread, who now throws it into google (along with the word "ruined") otherwise there would be pages, and pages to scroll through ("regcure ruined" pops this thread right to the top), and then feels stronly enough about the subject (after reading all 62 entries), to register and make their post.

Well, I suppose stranger things have happened!

Cool Regcure
I am not saying that RegCure is the greatest product out there, as there might be some that can perform better. I just happen to try it in order to solve my problem and it did. I found this website through a Google search using registry cleaners comparisons as the object of my search. Because I had inadvertenly purchased RegCure together with an antispyware program from Paretto (which I really did'nt need), the company told me that they could not give me a partial refund. They offered to give me a full refund ($39.95) and asked me to uninstall both programs and then purchase RegCure separately. It was then that I began a Google search to find out if I should purchase REgCure again or another program that might be even better and at a comparable price. I have found conflicting recommendations from several websites, some recommending RegCure, some RegistryFix, some RegCure, others MaxRegistry Cleaner, another Registry Fixer, and yet another Advanced System Optimizer. It is hard to make a choice among this jungle of recommendations. Again, I am not saying that RegCure is the best thing since sliced bread but that it did worked for my specific problem (it might not worked for any future problems or it might "ruin my computer"). I just wanted the site to have another opinion, even though positive, about my particular experience with RegCure. I surely don't own any stock in this company. I hope I don't become an outcast for trying to voice a dissenting opinion in this forum.

Thanks for coming back and clarifying.

Your initial post, as you can see, "appeared" to be out of the blue.

As for registry cleaners, well, read all of this thread. For the one thing that may be solved, there are a hundred waiting to break.

As for that one, there is no reason to believe, that if you had posted the problem here, one of the techs could have solved it for you.

Anyway, thanks again, and welcome to TSG.

That's good and positive answer. Two weeks ago I download RegCure for free scan and uninstalled it yesterday. To judge the software and its functions, can be looked at price and consumers's systems, each computer/platform is difference etc. I believe so. Besides, if it is not good, why does the market have competitor like UniBlue. I really do not know much who is who and like anybody else, just search the Net and look around.

I knew the Registries R big problem, the Uninstall mostly will not take out the regID of it plus some other hidden files or folder, perhaps .

Red face Thank you Degilbo
I spent the last three days researching as many Registry Repair Software as I can but only come away afraid of any purchases made on the internet. Today, I came across this website and thread, which help me. Thank you for listing the free registry cleaner website www.WiseCleaner.com. Not only was the download and scan free but also it repaired everything marked "Safe to Fix". Unfortunately, I have 276 "Not fully safe to fix" errors. I am unsure what to do next. Is there something that I can do (I am still learning) or shall I just take my computer in for service?

Please, please read ALL of this thread, and also do a search for Registry Cleaners on this site and read them.

We do NOT recommend running one unless you know absolutely that the items being selected for removal are ok to remove.

The items these pieces of junk call "errors" are NOT errors. But, it's an easy way to entice people to buy their products.

There is no, none, nada reason to clean the registry. There is no affect on performance, and no negative affect by leaving the "errors" as they are.

But, by allowing them to remove items you may end up with applications that no longer work or a PC that will not boot!
