subject: How To Fix A System Registry Error - Fix Your Computer Today [print this page] If your PC has become slower than before and if it is taking too much time to start, it is most likely that you are having errors in the registry and you need to fix registry errors for optimum computing speed. Registry file is created and maintained by Windows to store all the vital information about the hardware and software configuration and system settings of your computer. Microsoft introduced registry in their Windows 95 version. Before that these data were stored in the INI files that were placed throughout the hard disk. It made the system cluttered with INI files as well as made the system slower as it took more time to access these data. With the introduction of the registry, the process of storing system information became more organized and efficient. It reduced the time taken by the system to respond to any command.
Not all system registry errors can be resolved. It depends on the complication of the error or the complication of the corruption of the registry. If you start receiving the registry errors then the best option would be to take a complete back up of your data because you never know which error would cause the operating system to be crashed. However, registry cleaners will help you in cleaning the registry and fixing the errors mostly. If you have edited the registry manually, then the back up that you have taken would mostly fix the problem. You can also try using the last known good configuration choice that is available by selecting F8 during the booting process. This is will try to take your computer back to the last working stage.
While you can fix registry errors manually or using a registry repair tool, I recommend the latter.

Besides easy isolation of registry errors, a registry repair tool saves time. A complete scan of your PC registry can be done in minutes. That's why using a registry repair tool beats manually fixing registry errors hands down.
