The webpage for these programs say they work in Vista, but I keep getting errors when running them. hmmmmmmmm.

You could always email the developer stating that it doesn't work!

There's similar program than NTREGOPT, called Free Registry Defrag. http://www.registry-...stry-defrag.htm

With Free Registry Defrag you can also Analyze registry before optimizing. It's great feature, because you don't have to optimize, if there's no need for that.

CeeCee, thanks for the info. Got it. Gonna try it.

That's one feature that NTREGOPT desperately needs to have implemented into it. I've used it many times and have found that the registry optimization improvement was very small and baring on the verge of unnecessary.

[slowday444]

Registry Mechanic (I have a work network license) informs you by % how much of the registry is fragmented. If it is only a few percents you just cancel.

Similar "analyze before optimizing" freeware is WinASO RegDefrag.

With a good-looking interface and a good detailed report is the latest freeware product from Auslogic:

Auslogics Registry Defrag - Screenshots.

I've switched from NTREGOPT to your posted Free Registry Defrag, solely because it displays the percentage beforehand. Thanks for posting it.

I'll also have to check out that WinASO RegDefrag too.

Edit: I won't be using WinASO RegDefrag, the CNET Download.com User Reviews (trustworthy or not) about it messing up the registry is enough to keep me away from it.

Thanks CeeCee and Majomo-got the programs that you suggested-minus the same one as Andavari! Ran them all, and no problems thus far. Really like the exerience! Thanks!

About a week ago i sended email to registry-clean.net support to ask, if there's any changelogs/revision history available for FRD, but haven't got any answer yet... It just would be nice to know beforehand, that do i need to upgrade. I.e., if new version just contains Vista fix(es), then there's no need for me to upgrade.

Well if it wasn't for your link I would have never found FRD because I noticed no links on their site to their freeware.

Hello fellas,

I'm just wondering how you use erunt/ngtropt when your computer crashes and i can't log in using safe mode as my computer gives me a system32 error, windows cannot start. After i press f8 when the computer boots, i keep on getting a system32 error msg irrespective of which option i press. Definitely cannot boot in safe mode. Does this mean i have to reformat my hard drive the "hard way" and lose everything?

I thought this erunt, used in conjuction with the erdnt is supposed to save my bacon from extreme situations like these? Can someone please help?

[n8chavez]

I think you have misunderstood the purpose of both erunt and erunt. They are not system recovery software. What erunt does is restore a corrupted registry should you have a clean backup. All erunt does is defragment your registry.

If need need help your going to have to be more specific. But rest assured these are not the titles to use for system recovery.

That's what NTREGOPT does.

Hi CeeCee ,sorry for the delay (I got the link to the thread only today) .
Sounds like a good program, assuming the users reviews at CNET are trust worthy.
Got it, gonna try it.
Thanks

Free Registry Defrag is trustworthy freeware! The only problem it has is some uncorrected spelling that's been in a few versions.
