Windows Registry

• The Windows registry is the most common place where errors can occur in a computer. It is the database or placeholder for critical information and settings for all the system's components, such as hardware, programs, users and individual preferences. It is unsettling to deal with registry errors, especially when you have tight deadlines to meet, but that can be avoided by keeping your Windows registry clean and simple. This means that you have to be careful in downloading and installing all manner of software applications that might disrupt the proper operation of your Windows registry.
  
  

Root

• Registry errors occur when information in the registry become corrupted by means of the addition and removal of software and hardware components. This system corruption can be attributed to the data left behind by a software application that is removed incorrectly from the machine, to missing or wrong hardware drivers or running of orphaned start-up applications. Computer problems do not always start big, and registry errors work the same way. They begin with a little hiccup but ultimately, turn out to be a big mess.
  
  

Symptoms

• There are a few signs or symptoms to watch out for to determine if your computer is experiencing some registry errors. Knowing these signs will help you find a solution to your computer's problems before they become uncontrollable. Some of the symptoms of registry errors include a sudden slowing of your Windows operating system, errors popping up on Internet Explorer, your Internet connection becoming unstable, Windows crashing and freezing and worst of all, the dreaded blue screen of death (BSOD). Keep watch on these symptoms and treat them right away so you can avoid spending a fortune getting your computer fixed in a PC shop.
  
  

Solution

• Just like any other computer problem, a Windows registry error also has a cure or solution. The best way to fix it is by running a utility software called a registry cleaner. These programs are available for download and they offer different means of solution for your machine's pesky registry errors. Just pay particular attention to compatibility because not all registry cleaners are meant to work for every operating system. The best thing to do is to check the author's website to see what operating system it supports before you download and install a registry cleaner. This extra step will save you some headache in the end.
