Re: Fixing up the window's registry

I would strongly advise against buying either of them. Registry cleaners are definitely NOT for the beginner. They may present information that, to you, sounds logical, but can really mess up a system. There are much better ways to speed up a system but, not knowing what "very slow" actually means. Can you give us some examples of what you mean?

Hi I have windows Xp installed on my PC. I had a very slow system and decided to do a fresh install. Two days later I am stuck in the same situation.... When googling the performance of machine it was suggested that I purchase either a program called "reg cure" or "pc mechanic". Both sites guarentee to fix the windows registry (which I know Jack about) and boost the sytem performance and and and. problem is... I don't know which program to buy firstly, and second is this the solution to sorting out my windows issue. Any advise or suggestions
