For computer users around the world, perhaps nothing is more
frightening -- or frustrating -- than a full-blown computer crash.
While crashes happen for a variety of reasons, popular opinion states
that risks can often be eliminated by using anti-virus software. True?
Not necessarily.
According to Consumer Review, 95 percent of all window system crashes
are caused by errors in a computer's registry function. Unfortunately,
computer registries are also one of the most overlooked elements of a
PC's maintenance needs. The reason for this is simple -- most computer
users simply don't know they even have a computer registry, let alone
have the knowledge that it needs to be regularly maintained. Simply
put, a computer's registry is similar to the spinal cord in a human
being; nearly everything that a computer does depends on the
transportation of data through the registry. When a registry contains
errors or becomes cluttered with unnecessary data, data transmission is
restricted or impeded and leads to slow performance, unexpected
shutdowns and/or system crashes....
