Bowen,

Sorry, (LOL). At least you learned something out of it. Always double check the registry cleaner's results before letting it run amok in your registry. I had one wipe me out before to. That's why I went back to manually editing the registry and using the Reg. programs as a reference. It take's longer, but you will never have to worry about the program messing you up. Now if I can only prevent myself from messing it up. (haha)

I would get rid of the XP partition and make your hard drive whole again, or use that partition to store your system restores and backup files. I read nothing but problems with a dual boot and Vista.

I'll would try the TuneUp Utilities, but I'm cheap and always prefer the freebies. What can I say, I refuse to pay to be a beta tester. (LOL)
