In the mid nineties when it became obvious to Microsoft that there was no way to correct the lack of Job Management - the part of an Operating System which determines if a Job or Program should be executed - in their rapidly evolving Operating System called Windows, they moved to solve the problems in another way. Their Windows Registry file was already in widespread use in beta versions of altered OS products so, beginning with Windows 3.1 the focused all the execution control and parameter maintenance on the file called the System Registry.
Having made the decision to formalize its evolution they began to focus more and more on what the contents would include and the expanding role for its usage. There were a number of independent issues that were occurring in the world of PC applications and software had become recognized as the next big revenue opportunity for many firms. At the same time they recognized the need to provide for a way to run upgraded versions of their - and other people’s - products on the same PC.
That meant - for Microsoft - that there needed to be way to update the registry for newer versions of a program, and their needed to be a way to delete obsolete entries and correct errant ones. The real need - for a consolidated maintenance capability for the Registry - was never developed, so your system registry degrades and becomes corrupt over time with invalid and redundant entries.
The effect of that level of bad and obsolete entries was to produce an environment within which the PC performance would degrade over time to the point of failure. This was ‘allowed’ to coincide with the introduction of newer versions of operating system and faster and faster chipsets. That produced a clear recognition that since it would cost billions to fix the problem, it was better left solved by obsolescence - with most customers simply getting a new PC. Well, what if you prefer to keep your PC for a longer period than several years? The need exists, therefore, for a properly executed registry repair process that will keep your system running properly.
Now that we all own PCs with no onboard capability to either cleanse or repair the Registry, it’s up to us to solve our own problem. Just like it is your responsibility to change the oil in your car, you must now accept the responsibility for the regular maintenance of the System Registry in your PC.
The best way to accomplish this process is to use a quality registry software product. There are plenty of them available over the internet for $30-$50. They will allow you to accomplish your registry fix with a minimum of interaction and time required.
