I have had Windows XP Pro running on a machine for about 4 years and
have noticed a definite slow down. My system is a pretty high end
w/raid array and is virus and spyware clean. Should I try to clean
the registry? If so
how? Should I reinstalled Windows? Will that speed it up? I also
have a program called PC Angel LE. Will using that clean my
registry?
No, do not use PC Angel or any other registry cleaner. Here's why:
Don't know about PC Angel but ... a good registry cleaner from a reputable
source can often solve a lot of problems, as can may other 3rd party
programs. Malke is completely wrong in this regard. Once you have things
cleaned up as best as you can, try ccleaner - it's a good program,
reliable, and used a lot around the globe. There are others too but
ccleaner is good for folks who are new to the scene and want to get to
work with it right away.
Ignore the blowhards and closed minds who are going to flame over this;
they have about zero experience in this area and are great sources of
misinformation in this respect.

Here are some links to help with a slow/sluggish computer:

http://aumha.org/a/health.htm - Take Out the Trash
Never heard of either of those; I suppose you're going to they're as
popular and well known as aumha. aumha is populated with the same closed
minds that claim NO registry cleaner can EVER do any good, completely
biased but with nothing to prove their points. Not so much as one
article/source/cite in years. That's because they know they are wrong.
And although you said your machine is clean, you might want to take a
look at these general procedures to see if you were that thorough. If
you weren't, it would be a good idea to go through them.

Malke seems OK most of the time and I havent' heard anyone complain about
his cleaning abilities; but at the same time i don't recall anyone
thanking him either, but he sends a lot of business to his site that way.
AFAIK the advice there is OK unless the registry cleaner crap is repeated
there.
