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.

    I would like to say this:

    Microsoft Onecare cleaned the registry.

    Now I have Windows 7 64bit IE8, and Onecare won't work when I try it.

    If the registry didn't need to be cleaned, why was it in Onecare?

    I'd like to run Onecare, if anyone has any suggestions.

    Ken,

    Would you say that about RegClean as well? Honestly, I want to remove traces of a program that has overrun its trial period. What would you recommend in this case? (Other than formatting the machine and re-installing windows). Am using windows 7 (ultimate

    • 64 bit).
