How do I know if I have Registry problems?

Changes are not necessary when you have a new system even though within a very short period, your registry will quickly grow as you install and remove software and hardware. Usually, within six months, your Windows Registry will become highly fragmented with regular use; and, if you add and remove software and hardware frequently or often effect changes within your system, your registry may corrupt and be full of errors.

Registry fragmentation occurs because certain processes continually use the registry to incrementally modify the same values in the corresponding registry hives. Microsoft warns, for example, that this fragmentation, in certain cases, may be excessive. File sizes may eventually exceed the Registry Size Limits imposed by Windows and this will cause subsequent modifications to the registry to fail with resultant errors, slowdowns and crashes.




Some registry errors include:


  • Missing, orphaned, broken or bad application/Windows paths, shortcuts and links,


  • Unused, obsolete Start Menu items,


  • Missing or corrupt application IDs,


  • Residual and unused files,


  • Unused and unwanted drivers,


  • …the list is endless (see, What are the most common Registry problems?).
  • None of these problems are visible unless you access the registry directly. And even there the problems are rarely obvious. Registry fragmentation and errors will effect the performance of your computer and its stability and smooth operation.





    The more frequent symptoms of registry problems include:


  • Frequent error messages,


  • Slow start-ups,


  • Sluggishness,


  • Declining performance,


  • System stalls,


  • Severe degradation in operating speed,


  • Unstable and frequent application errors and crashes, and,


  • At times, even an inability to start Windows.


  • You should know changing any registry by yourself is too risky, if you don't know anything about computer performence that would be a good indication of don't touch. Here we recommend Registry Booster, a powerful tool helps you to clean, backup, restore and defrag registry by few clicks.
