RegDoctor 2.29

Remember the day when you brought your brand new PC home from the shops? Remember how well it ran at the time? It was like a speeding cheetah that never got tired. But some time has passed and your computer is now more of a sloth than a cheetah. Your computer may be sluggish because you did not perform regular maintenance taks.

Tasks like removing trash files that needlessly take up space, checking to see which applications automatically run at startup, defragmenting your hard disk, and checking to see if there are any Windows Registry problems. How do you do the last part, check for Windows Registry problems? Why you turn to specialized software – such as the InfoWorks Technology-developed RegDoctor.

Windows Registry problems are to blame for Windows crashes, error messages, and poor computer performance. It is thus very important to identify and address Windows Registry problems. That is what RegDoctor does – like a real doctor, it inspects your system, identifies the affliction, and comes up with a cure.

RegDoctor uses an intelligent, high-performance detection engine to accurately identify missing and invalid references in your Windows registry. There are two scan mode: Quick scan and Deep scan. After the scan is complete, RegDoctor displays a list of everything it found; items on this list are rated by risk level using a color-coded system that is quite easy to understand. You can let RegDoctor automatically repair all identified problems, or select only specific problems to fix.

Before you go get RegDoctor and put it to the test, take a look at these technical bits and pieces:
Download – the download weighs in at about 1.8MB. At such a lightweight download size, it will only take a moment for the download to complete.
Installation – at the time of writing this and according to the developer, RegDoctor provides support for Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Limitations – the trial version identifies Windows Registry problems but doesn’t fix them.

• Easy to use
• Two scan modes
• Create Registry backups to undo changes in case something goes wrong
• Works with Windows 7

Cons
