D.Arbib Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) For a few years I have relied on Registry Mechanic and Norton System Works to sort out 2 drives with XPpro/SP2, but I thought it worthwhille to look at other utilities. Error Doctor found 1. 8 Active X com errors 2. 2 Device diriver errors 3. 2 Windows Start-up errors 4. 20 Windows short-cut errorsPC Bug Doctor found 1. 11 Invalid CLSID 2. 20 Missing Short-cutsPC onPoint found 1. 51 Registry scan errors 2. 5 Invalid Short-cutsThese are sufficiently different and before paying for one or other, I really would appreciate feedback Edited July 28, 2005 by D.Arbib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) Uhm, most of that is simply common maintenance stuff. Just use a registry cleaner. Invalid shortcuts happen all the time when you create or download files and delete them. Entries still remain in the Recent Documents and average users don't know that they can tweak Windows to simply ignore these trivial "errors". As for device driver errors, that's a bit more complicated. Go to Device Manager and if anything has a ? or ! next to it, you should probably reinstall or update the drivers for it.If you're willing to spend money on a program, use JV16 PowerTools. It's one of the best maintenance programs out there that gets right to the point. No fancy GUIs to impress newbies to think they have "da bomb" software, but honest program.

techniquefreak Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 @JeremyI agree with you here - it's a great piece of software ...However - if you only need the reg. cleaner part of it - Regsupreme Pro of the same company is probably even better than jv16.@D.ArbibYou can try both free for one month - just go to www.macecraft.com and download it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON FART Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Repair/Maintenance tools can sometimes be dangerous. Best thing is to do a regular reformat (once every 3-6 months or so) and try minimize the amount of applications that you install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
