Classic British Flight Sim

In Trevs post regarding FSX I gave him a link for registry cleaners via Computer Active, some free - some payware. Have been looking at them but do not really know which one to try. What worries me is that last time I downloaded a free ware product (Spybot) it really screwed my restore function and do not want to find myself in a position whereby another freebie causes havoc with my system!!

Can any-one advise on a good registry cleaner even if it means paying.

Many thanks
Nigel.

Nigel,

I use Registry Mechanic at least once a week...It always finds something to do and I'm delighted with it :flying:

Many thanks Peter, is that a download or can it be purchased from a store?

Nigel.

It's downloadable payware, very good too.

I'll add my endorsement - somebody suggested it to me - cleaned up my system a treat and works excellently - even sends you email once a week to tell you your system is ok if your one that doesnt pay attention to it.....for what its worth I run Kaspersky as my Anti-virus/antispy -- and they work beautifully in
tandem - it appears (and I could be wrong) if RM finds something it doesnt like it gives it to Kaspersky to deal with automatically - all my spam problems
have gone bye bye - well worth the money

Many thanks for your comments endorsing System Mechanic Leif, extremely helpful as have now purchased it and was amazed at how many problems there were in my registry!! :o

Now all fixed, Many thanks also to Peter for the HU. :dance:

Regards Nigel.

I hate to have to pay to re-install FSX (its stuck neither on nor off my PC), but I fear that that will be the only safe way of doing it.

I ported FS9 over from a slave HD when this PC was made last yea and I am worried that a registry clean may decide that FS9 is an orphan too and clean it, as it was not installed from fresh on that drive. I may just not even bother with FSX and let the registry entries lie there.

Trev, if you are going to use Registry Mechanic then it has a restore facility, have not really had time to look at it as will be going to work soon but am sure that you can set a restore on it and if you find that after cleaning you registry FS9 has also been cleaned up you can restore it. Just make sure that you do a restore point prior to cleaning though.

Regards Nigel.

I don't think it's that ruthless a program.......but I could be wrong............
