Error Doctor Review

Product Review of Error Doctor

One of the best things you can do for the performance of your PC is to make sure you clean and repair the Windows registry on a regular basis. Problems with the registry are the most common causes of system crashes, slow PC performance, and error messages. By regularly cleaning, repairing, and optimizing the Windows registry, your computer will perform at its best for you at all times.

The Windows Registry

Many people have heard of the Windows registry but are a bit confused on just exactly it is. The best way to think about the registry is to think of it as the nerve center (brain) of the Windows operating system. Everything you do on your PC involves the operating system and the registry to be talking back and forth to each other. If there are a lot of junk or incorrect entries in the registry, then communication begins to break down, and your computer begins to slow down, give you errors, and possibly even crash.

The biggest cause of junk in the registry is if you download and install a lot of free software programs which you then end up uninstalling. Another culprit is surfing the web and visiting sites which mean harm to your PC.

Cleaning, Repairing, and Optimizing the Windows Registry

To keep your system running at its best, the registry needs to be cleaned, repaired, and optimized on a regular basis. To do this safely, you will need to invest in a registry cleaning software package, such as Error Doctor by PC Tools. (Tip: Unless you are a PC expert, you should never attempt to modify the Windows registry manually.)

Error Doctor is software which utilizes a high-performance detection algorithm which goes through the Windows registry and finds any missing or invalid references, which are often left behind in your registry from third-party software. The detection process is quick, taking only a few minutes at most. When Error Doctor is finished, it will give you an easy to read report of what it has found and suggests be repaired or deleted.

Backing Up the Windows Registry

One of the most important things you always want to do before making any changes to the Windows registry, is to make a back-up copy of it. This back-up ensures that you can always go back to the way things were, if something causes a problem in the registry cleaning process. Error Doctor makes a back-up copy of your registry each time you use it.

The Registry Monitor Feature of Error Doctor

One of the unique features offered by Error Doctor is its Registry Monitor function. The Registry Monitor runs in the background on your PC and will alert you every time there have been a significant number of changes made to your system's registry. At this point you have the option to run a diagnostic scan for errors. This can be a great way to head off problems before they happen.

Registry Compaction and Pruning for Optimized System Performance

Another unique function of Error Doctor is its registry compaction and pruning feature. Compaction and pruning allow Error Doctor to remove empty sub-keys from the Windows registry and compact it down in size to improve your system performance.

Final Thoughts

Through the use of the Registry Monitor feature, you can ensure that any installation, or un-installation, that you do will not cause your system problems down the line.
