"Registry Cleaner not supported for 64 bit Vista"
Pros: I'd have put 5 stars if this review is for Win XP as I used this program on my Win XP system too. But some functionalities don't work as expected. Yes it did install without glitches in 64 bit Vista. As far as I can see, much functions work well but one, Registry Cleaner. As such, I don't dare to use any of its Registry functionalities, like Registry Compactor.
Cons: When I used the Registry Cleaner, it's kinda hanging and kept on scanning forever... It's not that I din wait for it to finish scanning, I waited for 1 hour more until I have to abort it! My Vista system doesn't have a lot of programs installed and certainly no reason for this. It's interesting to note that the same problems did happen for Registry Mechanic 7 (yes it's written Vista Not Supported, I just tested it out of curiosity) where it keeps on scanning nonstop on the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node... ,where i couldn't see the rest of it. Yes it's 3 keys of Wow6432Node!, there are only 2 as a matter of fact, go check it on your regedit. And there are other software as well that don support registry scanning in Vista, but I tried it for fun to see how it works. They all work the same way: scanning nonstop in Vista 64 bit.
In conclusion, this software doesn't support Registry Cleaning in 64 bit vista.
