Perhaps you deleted a necessary registry key with that registry cleaner. Try restoring to a point before you noticed the problem and see if that helps. Then when you run the registry cleaner---make sure it doesn't delete necessary info.

You just learned an important lesson, other comments by other posters not withstanding, there aren't any.  Consider yourself lucky that you didn't do more damage.  I know the world will come down on this post, but in it I am steadfast.

I used a freeware program recommended on TechTV call RegSeeker.

That sounds better in theory than practice, its catch-22 all over again.  You need knowledge and experience to make those decisions, and if you had the knowledge you would not need the registry cleaner.  Sorry, I still don't buy it.  In fact more posts I read about the registry the more I am convinced the most people has no idea about it.  I have seen posts which incorrectly describe the registry organization and then describe efficiency techniques based upon wrong assumptions.  I say again under normal conditions "Stay Out Of The Registry".

Some registry cleaners just delete what they find if you let them, with just one click; you never see what they did, nor do they provide a backup to restore from. Avoid those!

The better ones come up with a list, explain what each entry is, why it is not necessary/wrong, allow you to choose which entries to fix, and provide a backup so that you can restore. Examples are jv16 powertools and Regscrub XP.

I agree with you, but my comment was that  if people insist on using one, at least get them to consider the safer ones.
