Re: Anyone have a good Registry Sweaper to recommend?

Nice job tracking down 'lmpgspl.ax' !
FWIW, my copy of JV16 registry "sweeper" have a "save" and an "un-do"
function.
I have an Asus P5B-Deluxe XP-Pro system that also sometimes does not load
all icons in taskbar, but it is seldom enough that I have not bothered much
with it.
Are you overclocking?

Among free tools, I have read decent reviews of CCCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/
Personally, I have had good results with (paid) JV16 Powertools
http://www.macecraft.com/jv16powertools2008/

What are your "boot issues"?
What is your OS? (XP, Vista, etc.)
What makes you think your mobo is involved ith your "issues"?
Have you done the usual diagnostics using msconfig?

I have been trying to run down some weird boot problems on my mobo... I
downloaded a registry sweeper and found I had over 1425 errors. But the
program would only fix the first 24 without paying for the full version,
$49.95. That sounded a little expensive so I removed it from my computer
to look some more.

So I continued my search on Google. Their are a lot of them, with
varying degrees of functionality before you have to pay for the program.
This limits my ability to evaluate the program being used. I have
checked out Google, CNET, and Newegg. Not much help.

Does anyone have any experience using registry sweepers? I could use
some good advice.

ytrewq:

System: P5W DH Deluxe mobo, Intel E6850 cpu, 4gig of cl4 Crucial
Ballistic ram, Antec Neohe 500wt ps, ATI HD 3870 gpu, Hauppauge HVR-1800
ntsc/atsc tuner, MS XP Pro SP3, WindowBlinds skinning software.

It's a problem I have had ever since I purchased this P5W DH Deluxe mobo.
My previous builds did not have this problem with Win XP. --- When the
computer boots, it randomly does not show all the taskbar icons in the
lower right of the bar for the programs running. Often, I see no Windows
Defender, or the MS Volume Control speaker, or the Safely Remove Hardware
(for my memory sticks), or Norton Protection Center icon.

It is particularly bad after updating the system that requires a reboot,
such as updates from MS and WindowBlinds. But all updates requiring
reboots seem to cause these problems. The task bar seems to straighten
itself out after about 5 to 8 reboots, sometimes requiring completely
turning off everything once or twice. I miss having the icons handy for
quick use.

Last night I was moving some mpg files around after recording them off of
the tuner. Whenever I use MS Explorer and touch files that have been
recorded off of the ATSC tuner, MS Explorer crashes (I forgot to not do
this last night - again.) In the past when I press send a report, and
press show me more stuff, MS had nothing to offer me. But last night the
show me more pointed to the file 'lmpgspl.ax' and said I should delete it.
So I did, and MS Explorer works. Step two said I should remove the
reference from the registry if deleting the file didn't work.

Out of curiosity I went to the net and did a search on 'lmpgspl.ax' to see
what it was. I found out it is a compression/decompression dll for mpg
files. It apparently has not been updated to handle 1080i ATSC content,
so it has a problem. I'm guessing it is a leftover dll from some program
that has long been removed from my system. So this lead me to the registry
sweepers available to correct these problems. I know that doing anything
in the registry is critical to the system so I didn't want to go to far
without seeking advice.

I apparently have accumulated quite a bit of garbage in my registry from
updates and would like to clean it out in the hope of improving my task
bar problem, boot time, and efficiency of the operating system.
