Ok I took a test drive of a few “computer Tweaker ” programs that have been well voted for on Cnet and ZDnet. They all were easy to locate, and I saw that thousands and millions have downloaded these. I organized first by number of downloads, and by most votes. I then organized by highest vote score. all three times, these three programs came up in the top. So I decided they where the best options of this test.
The machine is Nforce 750A with AMD 5600+ two gigs of pc 6400
dual 9500 gt 500mb Nvidia cards (sli)
Operating system is Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1
Installations were:
Registry Mechanic 9.00.0114 Of course this is a trial software.
Advanced Registry Optimizer 2010
CCleaner 2.29.1111
I really saw/felt no changes as I played a few games after each install. I am quite disappointed in the Pc gaming community. It seems there is a new wave of newbie techies advising people to use this stuff. Why do we go through this exact same wave every single time a new Operating system is released? It really seems like every time an OS is out, 8 months later there is a batch of people giving advise to use this stuff. Like memory boosters. After another 5 months, you start getting advice to overclock. You see posts like “Over clocking does not harm your computer” and masses of 20+ people backing this theory in threads of forums. Then three months later ” Help my video games have black streaks in them” Well you clearly over heated and fried your card.
End result.. Nothing fantastic. I guess what people see as being a new faster cleaner running machine, is a trick of the eye slight of hand. I swear every time I wash my car, it feels like it runs better.
Please if anyone has a new Registry software they want me to try out. and they are certain it works, Give me a thorough description of the software. Nothing larger than 15MB or I won’t touch it. This post i really wanted to go into detail, I really was ready for it. Right now i am nothing but so upset for installing this stuff I can’t write any detail other than… junk, junk, junk.
Personally I am sick of helping people after they stumble into this useless junk.
Your registry is written to for every program that is installed on your computer. These are lines of commands to tell your computer how to handle these programs. That’s it. Those lines of commands are never used if you do not use programs associated to what is has been written to your registry. Meaning: if you uninstall a program and never use that program again, then nothing on your computer will request that specific line, so that line does not have to be erased. that line will just never be necessary again. It does you no good to remove the registry entries from uninstalled programs. but you could possibly damage your computer by removing the wrong line of code. and no…. not all registry cleaners know every single program in the world and what they each use or write in your registry.
