    Concerning your comment in post #3 of your other thread, follow the advice in post #5.

    Registry cleaner/optimizer/booster/tuneup type programs will NOT improve speed nor cure your computer's ills. What they can do is damage the Windows operating system and some of your programs. And if the damage is severe enough, you'll need to reinstall Windows. Avoid them like the plague, no matter what they claim they can do.
