Registry Mechanic

Publisher's Description

From PC Tools:

Registry Mechanic is an advanced registry cleaner for Windows that allows you to safely scan, clean, and repair registry problems with a few simple mouse clicks. Problems with the Windows Registry are a common cause of Windows crashes and error messages. By using PC tune-up utilities such as registry cleaners regularly, your system will be more stable, your software will run quicker, and your operating system will boot faster. Registry problems can occur for many reasons, including references left behind after uninstallation; incorrect removal of software; missing or corrupt hardware drivers; or orphaned start-up programs. With a few easy steps, Registry Mechanic will scan your entire registry for any invalid entries and provide a list of the errors found. You then can choose to clean each item or automatically repair them all after making a backup without the need for a registry editor such as Regedit. Registry Mechanic tools are free of spyware and adware.

    "Did not work with GData Antivirus in the same machine."

    January 27, 2012  |   By bfbo

    Version: Registry Mechanic 11.0.277

    Pros

    Overall, one of the best PC Repair, Optimization, and Maintenance software around.
    Lots of good features, centered around the maintenance of the Registry.

    Cons

    Did not work with my GData Antivirus software. It conflicts during boot time, and windows logon, causing significant slowdown, and errors to occur.
    Depending on your System Hardware and Software configuration, Registry Mechanic may or may not be for you.

    Summary

    I used Registry Mechanic before on my old Windows XP System, and if I wrote a review back then, I would have given it 5 Stars.
    So, I am disappointed that it did not work in my Vista 64 System. So I give it a meager 2.5 Rating - it may or may not work for you.

    "Do not buy."

    December 17, 2011  |   By CRY8STAL

    Version: Registry Mechanic 11.0.277

    Pros

    Nothing good to say about latest upgrade.

    Cons

    Do not buy Registry Mechanic. Have used it for several years. Latest upgrade went into my computer and removed all entries in System Restore and put the entries into Registry Mechanic. When I complained to PC Tools, they said they could not reverse it. Two supervisors told me there was nothing they could do. PC Tools refunded my subscription, but I received no apologies. Very poor customer service. I wrote to their office in California and received no response. How dare they change anything on my computer.

    Summary

    Do Not Buy. Poor customer service.

    "For 2 years, Registry Mechanic has done a good job."

    December 6, 2011  |   By KatsCnet

    Version: Registry Mechanic 11.0.277

    Pros

    Working with the registry is a scary endeavor; altering it just a little can cause great dysfunction. The last 2 years I paid for my Registry Mechanic and many annoying issues on my computer like; missing dlls, pop-ups regarding issues with programs and slower function cleared up.

    Cons

    Having learned that Symantec now owns Registry Mechanic gives me a little concern. For years, I had used their antivirus and it did a good job but with their installation came many extras that ran as well. Some that I didn't need would run at startup. Those that ran in the background were using a lot of my memory. It became so cumbersome that I had to remove it.

    Summary

    At this time, I definitely recommend Registry Mechanic as part of your computer maintenance.

    "Very good tool to keep your computer tuned up."

    November 29, 2011  |   By bugeyz

    Version: Registry Mechanic 11.0.277

    Pros

    Easy to use. Allows automatic scheduling of complicated (ling) task during off hour times. seems generally very thorough.

    Cons

    Doesn't fix all discovered errors. Interface could be better.

    Summary

    I have used this tool for about 3 years now. I am generally very happy. The user interface could be a bit better but it is not bad. The biggest issue I have with it is that in the options it allow you to create a restore point before it changes anything in the computer. That generally is a good thing. So if I do one process...say Clean my Registry...it creates a restore point. Good thing. Then if I go to another function such as defrag the registry, it wants to create another restore point even though I just created one. I know I can go into the options and turn it off but I would prefer if there was a switch on each process page asking me if I want to create a restore point and when was the last time I did one. Over all it is a minor inconvenience.

    "Fails to install"

    November 23, 2011  |   By gcoryer

    Version: Registry Mechanic 11.0.277

    Pros

    None, the most recent version refuses to install

    Cons

    The installer starts, pops up the security dialog to get an admin password, then opens a sliver of a window and then does nothing. Have had no problems with previous versions but latest is a bust.

    Summary

    Cannot recommend

    "Its quite good!"

    November 2, 2011  |   By alexpaIladino

    Version: Registry Mechanic 10.0.134

    Pros

    Its very thorough, detects all kinds of stuff 1/8th of which I don't know about and it does fix things up coz after I rebooted my system I did notice and increase in operating speed!

    Cons

    Well, you have to pay for the results of course.

    Summary

    I have an AMD Turion64 laptop with a 4.3 Windows benchmark but I noticed it was lagging a lot lately.

    After I ran Reg Mech through it, which took about 30 minutes, and had everything fixed, I felt like my laptop breathed fresh computer air again!

    "Not A Good Experience :("

    October 28, 2011  |   By buckshot351975

    Version: Registry Mechanic 10.0.134

    Pros

    none (wouldn't install)

    Cons

    downloaded, and tried to install it, but the file appeared to be corrupted, and it would not complete the (full) install.

    Summary

    My rating is based on my experience with the program. Seems to work for others, maybe there was a conflict of interest with Registry Mechanic and another program I run on my pc? Anyway, good luck to anyone that downloads it. Hope it works for you all. :)
