The registry scan process will begin when you press the Start button at the bottom of the wizard. To return to the previous page, press the Back button.
The program scans HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_USERS.Default, HKEY_USERSSoftware and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry entries and checks them for selected registry errors. Scanning may take a few minutes depending on your processor and available RAM. Found entries are displayed in the list view on the found registry entries page. Note that the hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is the subkey SoftwareClasses of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. So, it is scanned by Registry First Aid too.
You can stop the scanning by pressing the Stop button at any time during the scan.
