Your computer's registry is one of the most important databases in your computer. Simply put, the registry handles how your computer runs. If you experience a drastic slow down of your system speed or if you're getting system errors such as the following:

Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM
Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSOFTWARE
Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSOFTWARE
System error: Lsass.exe

Then the problem is happening within your Windows Registry and should be fixed.

How to Fix your Computer's Registry
Windows 98 used to have a program called the Registry Checker that automatically scans the registry for errors and also automatically fixes the problem by replacing a corrupted registry with a new one every time a user boots up the computer. However, Windows XP does not do this automatically. The program should be run by the user manually. Here's how:

1. Click the START button and then select Run. Or Click the START button and press the letter 'R' on the keyboard if you cannot find 'Run'.

2. In the Run box and in the field that says, Open, type scanreg then press ENTER on your keyboard or Click OK

3. The Registry checker will now run and will also automatically fix errors and corrupted files

4. After fixing the errors, Click Yes to make another backup of the registry.

If you start having the error messages, you can also try to go on SAFE MODE. To do this, continuously press F8 on your computer just seconds after you reboot the computer until you find another screen that gives an option to boot in SAFE MODE. If it doesn't work in safe mode, repeat the process of pressing F8 and when the options come up, choose 'Restore last known good configuration'.

You can do these instructions on your own but it is highly recommended that you let a computer expert do it for you especially if you're not familiar with these processes. Do not attempt to do it on your own if you are not confident of your computer troubleshooting skills.

Registry Fix Software

Computer non-experts do not need to worry about finding an expert or being one. There is also an easier solution to fix your registry by using a registry fix software or what is more commonly called as registry cleaner.

A registry cleaner is a software that you can run to fix corrupt registry and to help make your computer system run faster. There are several cleaners that you can find on the Web although only a handful is most helpful so choose the best one.

Make sure that you choose a trusted software. Look for reviews for a software that you've been eyeing to get the opinion of existing users. Truly, a registry cleaner software is a big help for beginners to get your registry fixed right away without all the fuss.
