    If every thing is working, I don't think you have a 'registry problem'. Registry cleaners can do a lot of damage. Different ones will flag different types of entries that they think are errors. Many are not real errors at all.  It is also the case that some entries in the registry are recreated automatically if you delete them, so you would see them again each time. Redundant registry entries don't do anything, don't affect performance and and you don't save significant space on the hard drive. My advice would be to stop using them so obsessively. Only consider their use if you know you have a real problem. Even then registry cleaners are not the best way to solve registry problems.

    I only use them every 6 months or so, depends on what you do with your PC, the registry only needs to cleaned up if you install and uninstall lots ( i mean 20-100) of software as I do.
     
    My Mothers PC that I maintain never needs this to be done, all she uses is AOL and solitaire games.
     
     
    Most PC's do not need registry cleaners
     
    If you want a quality cleaner I use this one when needed.  http://www.rosecitysoftware.com/reg1aid/
    You can add entries that show up repeatedly to the excluded list, they will not show up next time.

    I really can’t understand why so many people complain about PC start-up slow problems, you only need a computer cleaner to handle all the problems, such as tuneup360.

    I really can't understand why someone would suggest visiting a site with these ratings:
