For new users, Windows is a good operating system to use especially if it is the latest iteration because it has all of the latest features and should be more stable than the rest. However, all of the Windows versions since Windows 95 revolve around a database known as the Windows Registry which is where various application and Windows settings are being stored.

If Windows starts to act erratically with system hangs and slowdowns present, chances are there are problems with the registry or in some cases, problems with drivers and certain DLL files. Error Fix one of the top maintenance tools that can solve these errors by examining the registry for any bad entries and taking care of them.

Overview and Recognition
Error Fix takes a different approach in attempt to fix registry errors as it offers a free version that is light on features, but scans for crucial areas of the registry including system services, file associations, startup items, and fonts. The 30-day trial has far more features and can be converted to the full version when purchased.

Scanning Capabilities and Performance
Compared to other registry programs, Error Fix is a bit advanced offering scanning options not only for the registry, but also for certain areas that need cleaning while it Is mere junk files or leftover file traces that cause privacy concerns. The "Auto-Scan" feature is the best scanning capability to take advantage of if you are new to registry cleaning since it does all the work in cleaning the registry right after the installation. It can also scan and repair problems regarding disk checking including both Chkdsk and Scan Disk problems.

Standard scans should take minutes to complete, but the "Custom Scan" can make the repair process even faster for advanced users who know what areas in the registry the problem lies in. Regardless of the type of scan, no real changes are made until you make confirmation. To make things even safer, confirmed changes can easily be undone by relying on the backup and restore functions. Backups are automatically made before any changes are made and there is an available option to back up the whole registry for future restoration when the system bogs down.

Extra Features
Error Fix comes with other useful optimization tools including a defragmentation tool, IE restoration support, Internet optimizer, and plenty of other troubleshooting tools.
