Is your computer strangely slow lately? If your PC does not seem to want to start up, or takes ages to shut down, chances are your registry files may be corrupted. If this misfortune happens, and you are in the middle of an important work or project, it may feel like you are up to face some great disaster. Do not fret just as yet. You can do something about this situation.

What you have to do is clean up your Windows registry. There are two ways on how to do this. First is by fixing the corrupt files yourself. Second is by using a professional registry repair program. The first option of fixing the problem files yourself may take quite a bit of time-- no matter how much of a computer wiz you are. Besides, a single accidental mistake may result to major damage to your gadget. This may force you to go to the shop, bringing your PC in tow for repair. If this happens, you would have to be away from your computer for about two weeks. That is half a month without your best bud!

I know what a big waste it is because I experienced it myself. Once there was a time when I thought I had one registry file in the wrong place on my computer. Being a techie myself, I decided to take control of things. I tried to move the file from its original spot. After one move, my computer refused to boot again! I had to have it fixed in the shop. Aside from being unable to use it for weeks, I spent a lot of money for it to get fixed. This is probably one main reason why even advanced computer users do not fix their own registry. They opt to use a professional cleaner software whenever they need to do a registry cleanup.
