Keep your PC healthy and error-free

The Symptoms:
Lately, you've been a little worried about the state of your PC. You've been experiencing instability issues that can range from annoying, time-wasting freezes to the occasional "Blue Screen of Death" and complete machine lockup. You may see unusual error messages pop up even when doing basic tasks like printing, opening programs, attaching or detaching external devices, or restarting your PC.

Root Cause:
Don't worry, your PC's case of the blues isn't terminal. And contrary to popular belief, the symptoms listed above don’t necessarily mean that your computer has been infected with viruses or spyware. In fact, these errors, lockups, and crashes are most likely caused by Windows Registry errors and data corruption. The registry is a database that holds all the important information about the Windows operating system, and when it gets corrupted with invalid and obsolete references—as it will with regular, everyday computer use—the overall condition of your computer declines, significantly reducing both speed and stability.

The Cure:
The Registry Tuner tool included in System Mechanic 10.5 automatically finds and fixes these registry errors, so your PC can run swiftly and reliably once again. One of the most critical technologies in System Mechanic's toolkit, Registry Tuner revitalizes your registry by repairing all of its invalid and obsolete references. Even better, this cleaning and repair process can also detect and remove dangerous files that may be running without your knowledge.

Experts agree that tuning up your registry on a regular basis is one of the best ways to prolong the life and improve the responsiveness of your PC—so it's also a good idea to set Registry Tuner to run automatically using System Mechanic's patented ActiveCare® technology to make sure that your registry always remains tuned-up and error-free.

How it works:
The Windows registry is one of the most important (as well as the most misunderstood) elements of the Windows operating system. Simply put, the registry is where the computer stores all of its knowledge about how you use your computer. It keeps track of every program that's installed on your PC, how your drives are configured, and how all of the various parts of the system work together in harmony (well, most of the time!).

Because the registry has to keep track of so much information (in some cases tens of millions of different data entries), it inevitably accumulates a number of errors over the course of everyday use. If left unchecked, over time this ongoing corruption can eventually result in random and difficult-to-diagnose ailments that result in error messages, program freezes and crashes, mysterious slowdowns, and even a completely inaccessible system.

If you think of the registry as a giant warehouse database, an "error" occurs when a box of goods gets moved to a different wing of the building, but the database does not get updated with the new information. When a worker needs to find that particular box, they will look up the old reference in the database—but when they try to locate the actual item in the stacks it will no longer be there, leading to confusion and delays in fulfilling their task.

Similarly, if you uninstall a program or device on your PC but the registry key remains, that broken reference doesn't only take up unnecessary space in the registry and creates extra clutter—it can also mislead and confuse your computer, leading to all kinds of slowdowns and errors. The registry error directs the PC to find a particular file or resource where it no longer exists…and when a program can't find the file it needs to complete its task, it can generate error messages, hesitate, lock up, freeze, or crash.

The registry is one of the most central and critical parts of the Windows operating system. Because it holds so much vital information, erasing, eliminating, or even “fixing” the wrong problem could lead to a real disaster!

As a result, you have to be very careful about which registry cleaner to choose. There are certainly lot of “registry-cleaning” products available that claim to be the miraculous cure for all manner of digital ailments, though some of them can do more harm than good. However, when it comes to treating this essential part of your PC, it's important to remember that not just any registry repair tool will do.

Your PC is an important investment, and it is filled with some of your most prized works, photos, music, and memories. The registry is responsible for helping you access all of these important items. Why would you trust such a valuable part of your PC to just anybody?
