Now I've got a problem and since you guys are somewhat responsible,
I figure you can help me out. I think it was Sid that suggested
Windows 7 so I searched and found some low information sites. No
cost figures but MS would be happy to send me a copy on the release
date. While trying to find the cost to upgrade my vista home
premium to a like version, I ran across a free register cleaner
called registerbooster.exe, a preferred MS partner or something like
that. I download and ran it. I had some 300 errors and they would
magnanimously fix the first 15 and sell me a program to fix the
rest. I selected restore back to before fix; hope it works. Since
I haven't noticed any performance problems, and I usually look at
the resister after removing applications, what's going on?

Interesting -- trying to follow Thumper's advice about deleting
temporary files (none of which were removed by Windows Disc Cleanup
even though I told it to), I ended up on that same web site but didn't
download the program. I may do so in the future if you don't have any
problems after restoring yours. Please let me know if you do.


I have had no problems with installing and removing registerbooster.exe but it's a con, MS caused the problem, they should fix it. I was thinking of using one of the free cleaner programs, but I've got an over powered processor so I'll wait for the next OS.

In wandering through the register, I found an old program referenced from the startup folder and no where is it referenced where it can be deleted. This is got to be the most out of control operating system I've ever experienced. Someone please tell MS that operating systems are supposed to be controlled by an architecture group, not by whoever was the last one told to turn out the lights. While you are at it, tell them that no one invents a serial bus (that was done in prehistoric days), although they may invent numerous ways of using multiplexing to slow it down.

I gave up on tmp files and just told explorer to take care of it. Norton seems to also be of value.
