According to your PC PitStop log you have a program called RegistryEasy installed. Anytime I see a program related to the registry I think it has something to do with registry cleaning or repairing.

From my research most of the registry errors are caused by orphaned files from programs being uninstalled. These normally will not cause any problems but show as errors simply because they are not associated with any programs that are installed.
Though not a big issue personally I never recommend any registry cleaner for that problem. I also see you use Ccleaner and I assume you are using the registry cleaner in it also?

OK lets try Revo Uninstaller and see if you can get rid of some of the ones that won't uninstall for you.


Download and install Revo Uninstaller

• Double click the Revo Uninstaller icon on your desktop to start the program
• Scroll through the listed programs and Right Click on the program you wish to uninstall
• From the pop out menu choose Uninstall
• Click Yes to the confirmation dialogue
• In the next window select the Advanced mode
• Click Next to start uninstalling the program
• Answer Yes to confirm the uninstall
• When the program has completed the four steps, click Next to allow the program to search for leftovers
• Once complete, click Next, then Finish
• Repeat the above steps for any other programs you wish to remove.

so what do you suggest using to clean up the "dead" registry files?

[rshaffer61]

Nothing they do no harm being there and the millisecond time ti takes for the OS to go over them is not worth the possibility of completely making your system unusable. The main concern is open the free space up to have at least 12 to 15 percent free space on the drive with the OS on it. When I install a game I have a different hd just for them. I have 3 hd's in my system now. One for OS, one for music and videos and the last is nothing but games.

OK you need to rerun Auslogics defrag now to get everything in order. Then let me know how much free space you have by doing the following.




Go to Start then to Run
Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On left side click on Disk Management
On right side you will see you hard drive.
Male sure the window is open all the way on the top right so I can see all the info it has.
Now I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG or PNG and save it to your Desktop
Make sure the window is open all the way so I can see everything on the top right window.


Attach it to your next reply

OK it shows your C drive which should be the OS installation drive as being 54% free now. Based on that I would suspect your speed has gotten better at this point.

it still gets slow over time then i have to restart
