In the last entry, I talked about how RegCure scans and fixes registry problems. More accurately, I talked about what RegCure scans. Today I’ll talk about what you can expect when RegCure fixes the problems it finds.

Managing A RegCure Scan

When you set up RegCure to scan your computer, you can choose which types of problems RegCure looks for. If there are certain types of problems that you don’t want RegCure to scan for, you can customize the scan to select only those areas of the registry you want to examine. RegCure will leave all other areas of the registry alone.

Once you have RegCure set up to scan your registry, start the scan. RegCure will track the errors it finds and make a log of potential problems it spots. RegCure will show you an easy-to-follow progress indicator and specify the areas of the registry in which potential problems were found.

Once the scan is complete, there’s still more to do. You can examine each problem area and decide how RegCure should handle the error. RegCure may identify some problems that really aren’t problems at all.

For example, it’s not unusual for applications to create temporary files while they’re running and remove these files when they close. A path may exist that points to the location of the temporary file, even though no file exists t at the moment RegCure is scanning. This really isn’t an error, since the only time a temporary file would exist is when the application that creates it is actually running.

RegCure gives you the option of removing or not removing these entries, so you have control over what RegCure does at all times. You can also mark these items in a special way to indicate that RegCure should ignore these files in future scans. You can also manage the Ignore list, and indicate that items that had been ignored at one time should now be scanned and removed or corrected.

Aside from scanning and repairing or removing broken registry entries, you can also use RegCure to flag applications that should start automatically when Windows starts. This will allow you to keep track of applications that are starting when the computer starts but perhaps don’t need to. This “startup application overload” can cause performance problems when too many applications startup and remain running when your computer is turned on. Certain applications, like anti-virus and anti-spyware applications should remain in your startup items list.

Before making any changes, RegCure makes a complete backup of your registry, so you can always revert to your previous state if something goes amiss. This kind of security and peace of mind means that you can manage your registry like a pro, even if you’re new to computers!

According to SpeedMatters.org, the United States ranked 15th in 2008 among industrialized nations in terms of Internet access speed. While many things go into the speed of an Internet connection and the overall response of the Internet, speed problems are most likely to appear literally right under the end-user’s nose. Most speed and connection issues are rooted in the user’s slow computer. Corrupted files, spyware and malware, and bad physical connection can cause retransmits and congestion on the network. The cure for many of these problems can be simple, but many people suffer needlessly, assuming that their computer is simply old, or that their network connection is “slow.”

RegCure Speeds Up Your Slow Computer

More than a million people have found an inexpensive, reliable way to speed up their slow computer and keep it running fast. RegCure from Pareto Logic eliminates the root causes of slow computer performance, crashes, and freezes that interfere with your ability to get work done, both on the network and off. RegCure gets into your computer’s registry and examines each entry to find abandoned registry keys, code that’s redundant or no longer needed, and entries that simply don’t need to be in your registry each time you start your computer. RegCure is safe. Each time you change your registry, RegCure makes a full backup of your registry in case something unexpected happens. If you don’t like the changes that have been made, you can revert to the registry’s former state. RegCure cleans up your registry, which can get clogged with conflicting entries and useless code. It also keeps your registry from getting fouled up over time. You get a performance enhancement right away, and then you get to enjoy your computer’s fast performance each time you turn on the computer.

RegCure Gets What Uninstallers Miss

The correct way to remove a program on a Windows computer is to uninstall it. Although uninstallers are supposed to remove all of the program’s hidden files, support files, device drivers, and registry entries, sometimes those things don’t happen. As a result, your computer may continue to load bits of programming code that it no longer needs. This extra, unneeded code takes up room in your computer’s working memory and slows down its performance. It may also lead to crashes, freezes and hesitations. More than a million users have learned that the cure for a slow, under-performing computer isn’t spending money on a faster processor, more memory or an upgraded Internet connection.
