How to Fix Register Errors

Registry Fix for PC
1. Back up your registry. Deleting program files and folders can cause your computer to malfunction, but a backup can restore your registry back to a working condition. Click 'Start,' 'Run' and type 'regedit.' Click the folder you wish to edit, and click the subkey to highlight it.
2. Click 'File' at the top of the window, and click 'Export' from the drop-down menu. Export the file to your desktop by clicking 'Save.'
3. Click the 'Start' button, then 'Search.' Type 'regedit' in the search bar and press the 'Return' key on your computer. Search for previously uninstalled program folders, and right-click the folder to display the pop-up menu. Click 'Delete' to remove the folder.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Download registry cleaner software. This software is widely available for free on the Internet (see References below for an example). Install the software and follow the onscreen instructions to organize your registry.
