Utility Software

If your computer is suddenly running slow and generating numerous errors, you have a few options available to recover your lost performance. Some of these options are built-in utilities that Microsoft has provided and a couple others are aftermarket software utilities.

First, try the utilities already installed on your system. You’ll want to remove temporary files and temporary internet files, perform a scan disk, use the Disk Defragmenter and the Disk Cleanup utilities, remove unnecessary items from automatic startup, and clear out your old System Restore settings. You can also add and remove programs to free up disk space.

After you’ve exhausted all of the do-it-yourself computer housekeeping chores using the utilities found in Windows, you may want to try an aftermarket software utility to take your housekeeping to a whole new level. Registry cleaning is a way to optimize your computer and get it running the way it was meant to run. While scan disk and the other chores have their place, registry cleaning will repair thousands of computer errors.

You’ve seen scan disk in action when your computer has encountered an error during and had to reboot. But if your computer is constantly encountering errors and rebooting, scan disk is reacting. Registry cleaning is a proactive approach. You will find the error and eliminate it instead of living with the error and running scan disk each time it occurs.

If you’re wondering what the registry is or if you know just enough about it to know that it’s complicated and risky, you are probably a little intimated by mere thought of cleaning it. If you have the right tools, you don’t need to worry. The registry is complicated and editing it is risky but using a software utility designed for the job makes it easy and risk-free. 

For an inexpensive, yet highly effective, solution, try RegCure from ParetoLogic Software. The developers put a lot of thought behind this product, making it easy to use and safe. They powered it with advanced technology and huge database of definitions. And they keep working, providing RegCure users with updates on a regular basis.

This product virtually eliminates the need to run scan disk because it solves thousands of errors that cause your computer so much grief. Without errors in the first place, scan disk won’t need to clean up after them.

RegCure is not meant as a one shot computer repair tool. While it will repair your computer’s registry on its first scan, it is also meant to be used regularly. You can set it up right away for automatic updates, automatic repairs, and routine scans on a schedule that you determine.

You can also manage your startup items in RegCure which is much easier than using the Windows System Configuration Utility. Simply go in and choose which items you wish to disable directly in the RegCure interface. Disabling items just prevents them from launching at startup, you can always launch them through traditional means.

Once you set it up, you really don’t need to worry about it again, just let RegCure run on schedule and use your computer as you normally do.
