Hi

None!!!! The XP Registry looks afer itself. Trying to phrick around with
the Registry using any of these so called Registry 'cleaners' can cause more
problems than they are worth and could render your PC unusable. Please
leave the Registry alone!!

V-Com's program called Fix-It does a very good job. www.v-com.com I've been
using it successfully for years and it does not cause problems, as implied
in other postings.

However, you can purge DLL Cache.

From a command prompt, run sfc /purgecache

....and that helps? Those files may be needed in case of a system failure!!

Why do you insist on pepetrating your fear of the registry ojn others? There
are several good registry cleaners available. Just because you have this fear
you are negative against them. Why don't you learn what the registry is all
about?

Registry cleaners are for people who are easily taken in by hype.
Unfortunately, these are the same people who are ill equipped to dig
themselves out of the trouble these toys cause. We read their desperate
pleas for help in these newsgroups every day.

"ojn" - a word not know in these NGs. Perhaps you could elucidate? There
are *****NO**** good Registry cleaners. Take it from someone who has a
'few' emails each day referring to this problem and an unbootable system!!!!

Based upon the number of e mails concerning problems with systems, I see far
more refering to SP2 than to Registry Cleaners. Based upon your logic
perhaps you should advise not to install SP2? .

I do not remember seeing any reports in these NGs of system problems that
are attributed to using Registry Cleaners. Your statements that Registry
Cleaners make the machine unbootable I believe are false. Even if the
current version of the registry becomes corrupted the machine will boot to
allow installation of 'last good configuration'. Further, I believe the OS
prevents the deletion of essential files. I do, however, accept the value
of Registry Cleaners are debateable.

Hi

SP2 is OK to install. Any existing problems need to sorted out before
upgrading.

The following articles are very useful for SP2 pre-installation:

"Introduction to Windows XP Service Pack 2" - by Barb Bowman
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/expert/bowman_introtosp2.mspx

"What to Know Before You Download and Install Windows XP Service Pack 2"
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/sp2_whattoknow.mspx

Registry 'cleaners' cause all kinds of havoc. Try a search here:
