Either CCleaner or RegSeeker.

Not sure if it's the 'best' but Eusing registry cleaner is free.

CCleaner ***....

downloaded Eusing registry cleaner ,ran it and it found 311 errors and and sorted them which aint bad considering its free! why didn`t the registry scan in norton systemworks find these? is it because it`s crap?

i always used to swear by regseeker back when i was on xp. so i thought i'd give it a try on vista. checked the download page and it said windows (all) was supported but not vista specifically... i guess that's my mistake because it's just hosed my vista install.... :eek:

i'm posting now from safe mode with networking but i can't get it to boot in recovery mode or normal mode. i tried restoring the backup and that appeared to import the old reg file ok but windows still won't start. so now to re-install. oh joy.....

so regseeker gets a big thumbs down from me.

18 minutes from my last post and i'm back online with a new windows install. that's a proper clean install, not an image restore. quite pleased with that.

just got to install all me drivers and proggies again...

Ccleaner and tune up utilities one button cleanup as it finds some registry errors ccleaner doesnt

After I have done a format one button cleanup finds over 100 to almost 200 errors and fixes them so it must be good, just have to run it a few times

I was about to give regseeker a whirl, perhaps I wont now!
