kmillerusaf Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I tried it on my new Vista system and it is a 15 day evaluation copy with US$29.95 cost to keep using it. But... But... Andavari's post says its freeware. There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

Moderators DennisD Posted March 1, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2009 Definitely free. You must've used the wrong download button Ken. It's just above the screenshot. The one on the left is the paid version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmillerusaf Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 ERUNT has a registry optimizer as well correct? Any differences between the two? There's always an exception to the rule.

Moderators DennisD Posted March 1, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2009 If I remember rightly ERUNT goes ahead and optimizes whenever you run it. This app scans and then gives you the result, as it isn't always necessary to do the defrag. It's nice to have the option to not run it when it isn't needed.

kmillerusaf Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'm referring more towards the NTREGOPT.exe that is included in the installation. But I definitely understand what you are saying about having a choice. NTREGOPT just does it, without giving a status or asking "are you sure?". There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

abu aufa Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 anyone try Auslogics Registry Defrag http://auslogics.com/en/software/registry-defrag/download or Quicksys RegDefrag http://www.regdefrag.com/download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Definitely free. You must've used the wrong download button Ken. It's just above the screenshot. The one on the left is the paid version. I finally found Free Registry Defrag and it seems to work OK.

But I definitely understand what you are saying about having a choice. NTREGOPT just does it, without giving a status or asking "are you sure?". NTREGOPT does not work in Vista. It gave many authority denied errors then said that it was going to optimize the registry 101% at which point I canceled it then un-installed it. I like learning new things but sometimes I dive head first into shallow water and hurt myself but I'm learning to ward off danger as well.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 2, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2009 Sorry for the download confusion YoKenny. I was going to give the Download.com link, but it's currently outdated and showing the old version so I linked to that actual official website instead. And yeah, they do have a commercial registry cleaner which they have a link to in the reg defrag program which I've tried before but won't ever need since there's CCleaner, etc., that are freeware.

YoKenny Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Worked fine for me in Vista Kenny... I don't know why you had such problems :/ I downloaded the wrong version as I did not read properly when I went to Download I saw Registry Clean Expert and had to go to Our Freeware: to find Free Registry Defrag "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted March 6, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2009 This is the latest version http://www.registry-clean.net/free-registry-defrag.htm Indeed, they released v2.40 on 5 March 2009. I haven't noticed any significant changes at all, however I did notice they have their setup file with a VeriSign digital verification signature now which is good.

Tom AZ Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Why do you prefer the Auslogic's software over this one? I'm not answering for abu aufa, but they probably both do a pretty good job. However, the Auslogic version may provide a little more registry information for the user -- and it definitely has a much more attractive interface (GUI). Other than that, abu will have to respond for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, abu will have to respond for himself. I tried many free registry cleaner and compare it.I found Auslogics did very well.It defrags your registry after reboot hive by hive and give the result when its done.Don't forget to turn off your antivirus / firewall before analyse n defragging.It will compact your registry and improve comp performance. Unfortunately,now available for paid version.You still can find latest freeware version in http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Registr...ry-Defrag.shtml marked as Adware http://majorgeeks.com/Auslogics_Registry_Defrag_d5668.html http://www.download.com/Auslogics-Registry....html?tag=mncol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I tried it on my new Vista system and it is a 15 day evaluation copy with US$29.95 cost to keep using it. FYI > Registry Cleaner is 15 day Trial. Registry Defrag is Free Tool from same vendor. Respectfully submitted bjm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
