Installing and Running Registry Mechanic

• Before installing Registry Mechanic, make sure your computer has the necessary requirements needed run in it (Window XP/Vista/2000). At least 64MB RAM and more will improve scanning and repairs. An efficient computer will prevent compatibility issues with the program. If your computer meets the requirements, download and install it (see link in Resources). Launch the program after it has installed and run the scanning tool to scan for and resolve registry problems automatically.
  
  

Warning

• Do not attempt to do more with Registry Mechanic than you are skilled in performing because you risk seriously damaging vital components in the Registry and System folders. Because the Registry is an intricate database, refer to the help files to clean it safely. Always back up the registry before performing any registry cleaning or troubleshooting steps so you have a restore point you can come back to should you make a mistake.
  
  

Misconceptions

• Registry Mechanic will not solve all your registry or computer problems. While it is a great tool, it has its limitations. The registry can be severely damaged by viruses, Trojans and other malicious tools and, as a result, require the services of antivirus and antispyware programs to remove problems. Even with all the steps taken, there is always a chance of running into registry problems; therefore, scan the registry frequently to properly maintain your computer.
