Tired of Windows crashing? Sick of having software lock up on you or taking forever to load? The problem could be all of those incorrect registry entries caused by software installations and un-installations that went awry!

Not all software un-installations do a complete job leaving behind numerous nagging file references in the Windows registry pointing to files that no longer exist. In time, you can end up with hundreds of these files that may slow down your computer and cause software to lock up, requiring a hard reboot of your computer.

The latest version of Registry First Aid is even easier to use and safely fixes more Registry errors than ever before. Helps eliminate system crashes, software lockups and slow loading programs caused by incorrect Registry entries leftover from software installations & uninstallations that went awry. Registry First Aid fixes these problems by removing these references that are no longer needed. Hundreds of these files bog down the registry, slow down your computer and cause software to lock up. RFA 3.0 offers added features that check the registry for unused software entries and "Run" registry entry errors. Also supports adding multiple entries into an excluded list and a new safe invalid path detection algorithm.

Registry First Aid scans registry for orphan file/folder references, finds these files or folders on your drives that may have been moved from their initial locations, and then corrects your registry entries to match the located files or folders. In addition, if your registry has links to files of deleted applications, Registry First Aid will find these invalid entries and remove them from your registry. With Registry First Aid, your Windows registry will be always clean and correct, helping your programs load faster and speeding up your computer. Registry First Aid - Keep it clean and keep it fast!

Registry First Aid

By zoesamantha on Fri, 2009-08-28 05:15
Pros: Simple enough for beginners to use, yet advanced enough to not insult the intelligence of the more advanced user.
Cons: A little expensive. Slower scanning than other programs I have used. Interface isn't very visually appealing, could be improved.
I have been testing many different registry cleaners & repairers over the past few weeks, & I must say I'm rather impressed. As with any product, it has its drawbacks, but all in all it is a very...

By SeekerOfPeace on Sat, 2009-08-15 01:16
Pros: -Effective -Fast registery scan
Cons: -Way too expensive when you can get the same as freeware -Evaluation version too limited
With all the registry cleaning software out there (some of it free of charge), one might wonder if it would be worth spending 30 dollars for this one. Allow me to answer some questions that might...

Efficient registry program

By omarabid on Sun, 2009-08-02 14:50
Pros: -Multilingual support

-Powerful Registry checker: I have compared Registry first aid to Registry doctor (I already had installed and using), Registry first aid is much slower but had founds many errors my other software didn’t.
The program seems to do a full registry scan and examines the registry key by key and string by string. In fact, the software checks the registry for many errors (invalid paths, file association, fonts…)
The application will class the found registry keys errors into 3 parts: Green, yellow and red.
Green is automatically selected and the software assumes to find the right fix for it. Yellow and red means the software either hadn’t found a fix or the key is sensitive and the software isn’t sure if the fix will correct it or even make it worse. In this case, user interaction is required to manually scan the entries.

-Multiple functionalities: Registry first aid is not only a registry checker, it include a search tool, registry comparator and also a backup function.

- I tried the software with windows Vista, Windows XP and windows 2000. It worked perfectly under Vista and XP; however 2000 had some minor display blinking.
Cons: -User interface looks good but there’s a bad choice of colours and graphics. There’s also a bad choice of font, font size and the way information is displayed in the program.

-Defragment feature uses a lot of RAM and CPU and will probably slow your computer. Trying the close the program or stopping the application in such state will result in a worse situation that will look completely the Operating System.

-The backup feature is very limited and is not different than the Windows registry “import” and “export” feature.

-The search feature is also simple. A more advanced search will be more useful especially for developers and coders.

-The application adds an icon to the system tray and there’s no “quit” or “exit” button to close it. Registry First aid is not a frequently used application (you won’t use more than once a week), so why put it in the system tray by default?
Registry first aid is a simple registry cleaner. A non tech savvy person can operate the program easily without even reading the help pages. The user interface is simple and powered with different...
