Registry Problems...
As long as you know what you are doing, then I agree.

JS,
I agree with you to a point. When these companies making these products
claim they will boost performance etc, by removing a couple hundred
registry entries when there are hundreds of thousands, they are insane
(That's like removing a drop of water from a bucket. Would you see a
difference?)
However, there are times, when they can correct inconsistencies in the
registry that can lead to problems.

Most of these registry tools are snake oil and will/could cause more
problems then they fix. Unless you are very familiar with registry issues
and know what you are doing when you or the tool makes changes I would
not use them.
That said I'm sure there are free tools out their like CCleaner and
others.
Always make a backup before you start making changes.

This might be to general of a question, but I believe that I am having
problems with my registry. Is there any way, preferably free, that I
can fix
these problems? I tried to download a program to fix them, but they
wanted
me to purchases the program to actually take care of my registry
problems,
which they said I had something like 347 of.
Oh and I am running Windows XP Professional on a Dell notebook.
Thanks.
