Vista - Registry Scanner for Vista 64-bit

Does anyone know of a registry scanner for Vista 64-bit that actually works
properly. I have purchased three none that work. The ones that load do find
the bad entries, but when they fix the registry, they blow up my OS.

all registry cleaners are useless and dangerous.
Recent versions of Windows don't need registry cleaner.

I would take this as a hint and quit using such software. It is of dubious
utility for the normal user and, as you have discovered, prone to cause
system problems unless used by someone with fairly advanced computer skills
and/or for a specific clean-up reason.

The best one is none at all. The only people that should be using registry
cleaners are the people that can look at the results, understand what they
see, and be able to determine that it is safe to remove an entry the
software says is bad. Any other use and you can eventually expect the
results you received.
