Registry Cleaners such as "Registry Mechanic" - Any good completely free ones available?

Ive downloaded Regsitry Mechanic and it seems to be a very thorough programme but its now asking me to pay unless I only want half a job doing. Any alternatives??

 

CCleaner is good but I don't think in terms of Registry Cleaning it's as thorough as a dedicated program - mind you I haven't a clue what I'm talking about.

 

Cheers mate. Ive just downloaded it and removed registry mechanic. It seems to be pretty good.

 

Tune Up Utilities

Send me a PM, I've got a hooky copy with crack etc.

 

Use Linux

Dont have to mess about with reg cleaners, antivirus, driver installation

its the future

 

Agreed

In the process of installing Ubuntu on my machine at home. Having a problem with a wireless network card though. I installed the driver and can operate the card ok, but there's a utility to create profils and do DHCP etc, but it needs a newer version of GTK+.

Which Linux flavour do you use?

 

I use ubuntu on my lenovo laptop at work

since updating to 9.10 (karmic koala) ive had no troubles picked up my wireless, bluetooth, nvidia gfx

i think this installs GTK

sudo aptitude install gnome-core-devel build-essential

 

Ubuntu

I'm going to try using the ethernet adaptor on my motherboard, if I can connect to the web then Ubuntu should update itself.
Otherwise, its a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation - can't control the wireless card without updating Ubuntu, can't update Ubuntu without controlling wirelss card!

 

yes your best off doing that

 

RE: Ubuntu

I've just installed Ubuntu - Jolicloud.

Boot from USB and installed in under 10 mins - Picked up wireless cards and everything.
