Has anyone used UniBlue? I use Symstemtech XP but it does not seem to find too many problems even though my computer is crashing like crazy. Does anyone know if UniBlue is good?

I've only tried the free version. Seems OK enough, but only fixes up to 15 problems it encounters. Everything else you'd need to buy the full version (I didn't).

Nah, I was just explaining why I don't know if Uniblue is really as good as they claim.

Do you have any recomendation for a reliable and trustwordy free programe that could do the job though? There are free programes that do that, but I'm not sure I'd want just any programe have acces to my computer registry.

i had this "norton windoctor 2005" for windows 98 and it still works on xp but im sure there is something specific for xp as well=)

EVERY program you run from an admin account (which is default for Windows and what 99% of people do) has full access to the registry to do as it pleases.

I understand we're talking about registry cleaners? Then the most thorough ones may detect as junk some entries that you need. But they usually let you backup just in case. I've heard most about CCleaner (which also clears junk files), RegSeeker and RegCleaner. CCleaner is very safe and it's very unlikely that it damages the registry --it's the only one I use. RegSeeker is very thorough but it's likely that it will delete something you need, however you can backup before cleaning. I've also used EasyCleaner but it was even much less thorough than CCleaner --and so worthless since CCleaner is safe enough (100% for me so far).

Never used Uniblue, if your looking for a fairly indepth registry cleaner, definitely go with regseeker 1.45, totally free and no restrictions, I've been using it for 3 years now and there has not been a single time where I haven't encountered a problem after removing registry entries, it also does backup the entries, in case something goes wrong.

CCleaner is decent, but it doesn't find a ton of registry problems, its definitely more known for cleaning programs, internet stuff and indepth cleaning, another program that does a decent job is spybot search and destroy which comes with one, but never have used it to date.

Indeed, whats also good about regseeker, forgot to mention in my last post, is its sort of an all in one program besides registry fixing. Its pretty much like CCleaner, in that you can see your startup entries, remove old entries from the add/remove program list, go through your internet history, even to the infamous index.dat files and whatnot and of course search your registry etc etc.

For the cleaning portion of the program, its decent, I personally think CCleaner does a more indepth job of cleaning files, and doing all that sort of fixing around, its a nifty feature but stick with registry cleaning with regseeker 1.45
