hi joesue13, if you're computer is running slow, it might not be the registry that you need to check. old and outdated registry entries dont affeect much of your computer's performance.

there might be some programs that are running in the background that eat up your processor and ram. if you know 'hijackthis", you can run it and paste the logs here. maybe we can check what programs are set to run in the background-- thus possibly slowing your computer.

thanks too, and let is know if you find any thats also a good alternative. btw, ccleaner scores a perfect 5 on CNET editors review AND an excellent 4.5 for 5029 user reviews!
