I have a problem that my new computer seems to be sluggish and I have lost programmes and cannot reinstall, I am suspicious that something has been done to the registry. I had chrome installed without any problems then it disappeared, I tried to reinstall but it will not. The error it comes up with says I have to uninstall and I have followed all the instructions and suggestions but nothing works still keep getting the same message and no onbe seems to know why, which is why I am here cos you guys know everything.

I had a few other problems which seem to have ironed out as I cleaned the registry with avg which I run on the copmputer (full version) and I also used ccleaner which is usually enough when there is a probloem but no I still cannot install chrome. I am aware that this is not vital in the scheme of things but I prefer it as a browser and on top of that the whole system has slowed up and everything needs to be pressed often before it seems to register the command, is there anyone out there having the same or similar problem that they have fixed, I would be grateful for any suggestions.

A registry cleaner will not increase your system's speed or performance, and has the potential to break your registry to the point that your PC is no longer bootable.
We strongly advise that people stay away from any of the registry cleaners out there.

Thanks to Sari for the explanation

Just a note: Before attempting to clean or fix any registry you should always make a backup of it first just in case something goes wrong.

I believe you have found why we do not suggest using any type of registry cleaner.
Have you tried a system restore to right before the issue started?
