Do you or can you recommend a Registry Cleaner that works well with Windows 7?  In my searches I found RegAce to be the best recommend but on commencing to run the application Windows 7 gave a warning that it had not been tested on this OS.

What solution should I follow?

Thanks, DAVID.

Hello DaveJB,

Thank you for posting on the Microsoft Answers Forum.

Have you tried to use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Click here to download the tool.

You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.

Please reply back and let us know if this utlitiy helped to resolve your issue.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

David, I recently ran across a similar problem on a friend's computer.  I even tried logging in as administrator in safe mode... nada.  Then someone suggested this

http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

The free version worked awesome.  I used it and then uninstalled it.

    A single program can afect the whole computers useage, slowing it down because it is a startup program and the computer is going to look for the reason. Shared files in programs is a good example of deleting one now has missing files, .dil, ect. Warnings do pop up when deleting programs if there is shared files and does say...we have found a file that is no longer going to be of use, but if it is a shared file, that program may not work properly. Then your choices are...yes, yes to all, no, no to all. No to all is you best bet, the computer can clean it's self of those unneeded files on a deframent. You have no way for the computer to look, find, for all programs currantly on it if all files are correct. A virus or even the user(s) can make the program(s) run the way it does.

    A defragment does absolutely nothing except re-arrange data - it deletes NOTHING.
