Had a 1TB hard drive die today that had all my games and movies on it, a lot of other programs also and now I can't reinstall some of them on my other hard drives. I ran registry cleaner in CCleaner but it didn't help at all. Anything I can do?
 
Solution
For many years, after making full image backups of my OS and Data partitions, I have used both Auslogics and Wise registry cleaners mostly with success. Now, I don't know where courage crosses over into foolhardiness, however, I have used Resplendence Registrar Registry Manager to mass-delete -- won some, lost some. Before using RRM, ensure you have made restorable full images of your OS and Data partitions on external media.

This fixed the problem, I used Auslogics and it got rid of all the errors. Saved me so much time, thanks! Thanks to the other people who helped me also, much appreciated!
