Vista - Pc registry clean up

Hi
Thank you in advance for answering the following question. What application can I use to clean the registry. The one I had before doesn't work with 64 bit

Hello LadyDW41, and welcome to Vista Forums.

A good free registry cleaning program is Wise Registry Cleaner. While I never had a problem deleting what it finds, you should always review and backup the scan results to make sure that they are safe to delete to prevent damage to the registry.

A good registry defrag program is Auslogic Registry Defrag.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I use CCcleaner, it cleans a lot of other junk like temp files and cleans up the registry, I use it on my x64 vista.

Thank you for replying. I will try it. From where do I download it?

CCleaner - Download

Another vote for ccleaner here. I would add that you must go through all the options before using the program as it might delete stuff you want to keep.

Wise Registry Cleaner, Thumbs up!....all the way.

I'm running Vista Business x34bit

I've was having issues with Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, codecs, Active X Controls etc. for weeks. I hesitated to use a registry cleaner because most reviews stated that if you are using Vista that there was no need to use a registy cleaner. At this point System restore was of no value to me.

After reading this Thread, I decided, what the heck, I would use Vista's system restore if something went wrong. I just wouldnt be much further ahead.

I downloaded both the Wise Registry Cleaner & CCleaner.

CCleaner is a great spring cleaning tool (remove/cleanup temp files, history, cookies, unused files etc.), but as for fixing registry problems it doesnt even compare.

Wise Registry Cleaner not only picked up over 50 issues that CCleaner did not warn me off, it removed and/or repaired extensions, ActiveX Controls, ClassIDs, ProgIDs, Uninstallers, Shared DLLs. Which was my main reason for getting a registry cleaner in the first place.

I did not see CCleaner do anything more than Vista is capable of.

Good Luck.

Ive just used the Wise one for the first time. Didnt notice anything and no errors.
