Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system, but in particular the Vista operating system, has proven to have a large number of glitches and bugs. In particular, this is seen in the Windows registry. What is the registry? How do these errors occur? and how to fix it…
Role of the Windows Registry
The role of the Windows registry is to ensure that your computer runs efficiently and at its optimal level of performance at all times. The problem with the Windows registry is that over time, errors start to accumulate and cause your PC to slow down, crash for no reason, and simply frustrate you, the user.
On these occasions, your only option is to repair your registry. Doing so will save you headaches and money in the long run. Why is that?
As errors accumulate in the registry, they result in slow startup time of your computer or slow shutdown time. Your PC will throw error messages that you don’t understand and drive you crazy in the process. More seriously, these errors could bring your PC to a standstill if you don’t resolve these issues.
Registry repair tools
A good registry repair tool works by performing a detailed scan of your computer for errors and removes them instantly. It speeds up your computer so it runs at peak performance, just like when you first bought it.
They usually come with the option to schedule registry scans for timely cleaning on a regular basis, ensuring that your Vista or XP registry always remains free of errors.
More about the Windows Registry
This is a core database used on MS Windows 98, NT, XP, 2000 or Vista. Stores the information needed to configure the system for applications and hardware devices. The Registry contains information that is continually referenced by the operating system during operation. It replaces most text-based .ini files used in Windows 3.x and MS-DOS configuration files, such as Autoexec.bat and Config.sys. Although the Registry is common to several Microsoft operating systems, there are some differences between them.
