RegistryFix Help & Support

Help is available via the program interface and you can contact support also from inside RegistryFix if you are having problems that aren’t answered in the help file. RegistryFix also has live support available from 5am until 11pm everyday

First Impressions

Unlike other registry scanners, Registry Fix sports a very minimalistic look. No flashy buttons and high-end graphics are found making Registry Fix better for slower systems. Registry Fix takes up less memory and is more stable to use overall. There are only 3 options on the right for scanning the system and tweaking the other options with the scanning options shown on the right. This doesn’t look too aesthetically pleasing, but the interface isn’t too much of a drag either.

Scanning Performance

Registry Fix is a solid registry cleaning solution that has all the necessary capabilities in performing a full scan. It can scan for missing file associations, DLL files, system fonts, and even invalid device drivers. However, scanning with Registry Fix takes around twice as long as the popular registry cleaning tools. The results of the scan report twice as many errors as well leading to believe that Registry Fix takes more time in scanning for bad entries. This doesn’t necessarily make Registry Fix any better because a lot of the bad entries may be important files that can possibly harm the system even more rather than heal it.

Fortunately, the entries can be backed up before they are removed or changed. Still, users must be cautious in using this program and should review carefully what entries are marked bad before making a move.

Extra Features

Registry Fix gets some extra points though for including a handy feature called “Browser Helper Object Manager” which helps manage objects in Internet Explorer. Many malware target Internet Explorer’s vulnerable infrastructure and this manager helps keep it clean and optimal.

There is also a startup manager that can be used to control what programs load on Windows Startup and what heavy or harmful programs should be disabled to ensure a faster and safer boot.

The “Add/Remove Program Manager” also serves as a fine addition that allows users to edit existing entries or remove outdated uninstallers from the list to make it cleaner.

Lastly, all backups can be managed using the “Full Registry Backup Utility”. This feature also serves as an alternative in making a complete backup of the entire registry.

Errors Found/Removed:

The scan itself took longer than the more top of the line programs, but found and removed just as many errors. Reported more errors than the leading repair utilities, leading us to believe that it is a bit overzealous and thus runs the risk of removing important entries.

Ease Of Use:

Registry Fix is simple and easy to understand. Nothing complicated about its design or presentation. Makes backing up and restoring the registry a cinch.

The three basic options are to scan your computer and fix errors, manage backups, and tinker with the Advanced options. The advanced options include:

• Browser Helper Manager (helps disable browser plugins like toolbars)
• Startup Program Manager (allows you to disable startup programs)
• Add Remove Program Manager (lets you uninstall programs)
• Full Registry Backup Utility (makes backups of the registry and lets you restore them)

As far as usefulness goes, we thought that the browser helper manager was neat, but the other utilities are nothing special and are already available in Windows in some way shape or form.

Features:

Very basic on the features. Nothing unique except for the browser helper manager, which will really help out certain users who are having toolbar issues or slow internet and browsing speeds.

Customer Service:

Registry Fix offers an email helpdesk type customer service system for its paying customers. Online help manuals were a bit spotty but adequate.

Overall Score:

Registry Fix does the basics of registry cleaning, but we think you would be better served with WiseFixer, which offers better support and comes from a company with a stronger background.

Bottom Line

Registry Fix is a program that works, but it works a little bit too hard and may sometimes catch registry entries that really don’t count as errors. There is no sign of a scheduling feature, which is okay since legitimate entries can be caught by Registry Fix. The added features make Registry Fix a pretty good diagnostic utility, but certainly not the best registry cleaner out there. It remains as a useful tool for lower-end configurations and systems suffering heavily from registry problems.

How The Registry Cleaning Works

Registry Easy does a lot of things in the system optimization space – but its flagship feature is Registry Cleaning and it does a damn good job.

Every time you open the program you start off on the ‘Registry Cleaner’ area at step 1, here you choose what items you want to scan and clean in the registry.

Once you have selected (for novice users just select all), and then click the big Scan Now button. It will now scan the registry for problems; I have a lot of files and a big hard-drive on the test machine, so it took 1 hour and 44 minutes to scan the entire registry, you can still use your computer whilst it’s working – I watched Dexter a TV series on the computer whilst it was performing the scan. When the scan finished it ended up finding 3796 entries with errors.

When Registry Easy is finished scanning for registry problems you then select what errors you want to repair, and then click the Repair button.

I only had a trial version, so at this point a windows pops-up and presents a prompt to buy to fix all the problems. I clicked OK and was directed to the Registry Easy website to purchase, I entered my details and purchased a 1 year license for $39.95.

I then entered the registry key I purchased into the registration window on Registry Easy and got the message “Congratulations! This copy is registered successfully.”

Now I have a full copy of Registry Easy I click the Repair button, but this time I am prompted with a Create Full Registry Backup window. I clicked the Backup Now button. It took about 30 seconds to backup the registry, when that’s complete the registry repairing starts automatically. It took about a minute or so to repair the registry and then lastly it presented me with a report of the registry entries it fixed – the registry is now repaired.
