The Registry is nowhere near as easy to use - or fix - as most of these programs imply; they can be useful, but only if you know exactly what you're doing...in which case you probably wouldn't need such a program anyway.

A useful site for solving Windows problems is http://www.annoyances.org - post whatever error messages you get, state what software you're using and ask politely for help; you'll get it. Remember to post only in the site's ME forum, since that's the Windows version you're using.
I'll stay WELL away from the registry then! I must remember to create restore points more often too I guess I get a little carried away installing things and forget. I'll have a look at that site too

Cheers!
