Odd Registry Entries

I had an "issue" that warranted a look into the registry and so I opened it up and saw a lot of "weird" entries. Now, let this be said, I've only been using Vista for about a year and I never really went in the Vista registry before, so I'm not sure what a "weird" entry is by Vista terms, but these look weird. Please take a look at the attached image and give me your opinion. Is there something wrong here? If so, what should I do?

I'm running Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit.

Personally, I don't think it's weird. Even though I'm not an expert on the Vista registry, but I do know that you don't know what to expect when looking at your registry.

To see if you really have a registry problem or not, you should download a registry cleaner.

It's a Dell Inspiron 530 preinstalled with Vista SP1; I downloaded the stand alone SP2 from MS and installed it from a file. I have some programs that are multilingual like Nero 9. I think I might have installed the German version first then the English - do you think this stuff in the registry is another language?

I have used CCleaner - but the last time I used it, I lost my DVD/CD drive - so I restore the registry backup CCleaner made before it deleted entries.

Anyway - I've seen a lot of stuff and poked in the registry in other Win OS - but these entries look like some kind of hash numbers . . .
