I know this has nothing to do with politics or religion but, it does have to do with angst.
lately my computer has been locking up or crashing way too often, i don't know what you computer guys call it.
I have run a couple of those"free registry scans" and they have found in the neighborhood of 1300 problem areas such as bad paths,registry problems etc. Mind you i've had this computer for 10 years and over time problems have just slowlly gotten worse. it used to be if i had a problem i could just restore to an earlier date and that would cure the problem, not so anymore.
I've tried to read up on the Internet about these things, but it seems the reviews are all over the place.
it should also be noted that there are several old programs on my computer that i want to get rid of but my computer won't let me. when i try to uninstall i get an error message that some sort of .dll file is missing. Whatever that is.
my specific question is i found a couple of programs that purport to be able to uninstall difficult programs. and another that supposedly will fix all the registry problems. specifically one is a program called "regcure" and the other is "perfectuninstall" are these for real or are they selling snake oil?
thanks for the reviews and help!
