I am looking for a reliable windows registry program. My pc is getting slower due to my frequent install/uninstall. Try to search the net, but seems like most available program need to pay. Any advise?

You could try Microsoft's online Pc tuneup software, Safety Live Onecare.

you could try ccleaner also. Very fast, powerfull and simple to use, it cleans more than the registry.

edit : to upx25cat : tried windows live onecare and I found it very long to dl everything

Just a followup from the previous reply, Be very wary using ccleaner, on several occasions this has messed up machines for me

just for info

I tried Registry Mechanic .....but the shareware only allow me to scan. I got 700 over problems in the win registry. Can't rectify. Will try out ccleaner.

Tuneup Utilities 2007. Can easily be found with crack on google.

CCleaner works pretty well and its freeware.
Whats more, it will find old Temp, cookies, log,... files left after uninstalled programs.
But for better registry cleaning you should go for Registry Mechanic 6.0.
It finds much more problems but be careful what you delete(some registry entries can be still in the use and you can experience some programs to stop working...)!

ccleaner is more like a all in one application. Removing temporary files, URL history, cookies etc. I found a crack on Registry Mechanic. It did well in cleaner my windows registry mess. Atleast Registry Mechanic has a restore function if anything go wrong.

JV Power Tools 3.1 - last free version - does a good job.
