I used "scanreg /fix" in DOS once but it actually messed up my registry. I had to restore a working version.

Would this be of any interest to you?

Hmmm, that looks like a regular registry cleaner. It doesn't really tell if some of your registry is corrupted. It only removes old and invalid reference.

I am looking for one that will tell me that my registry actually is corrupt. Anyway, thanks for the tips

I just ran this comprehensive Registery Scan
program this am. http://www.pc1click.com.
If you have a proprietary system\MS Windows and
run\and delete a lot 3rd party proprietary software
GET READY!! I don't neglect my non-propreitary
W98 system. This program printed out 2&1\4 pages in 6pt type of corrupted Registery Files. Thats why I'am here today. Help.
