Registry Repair 
2006-09-15
I was looking for an easy to use registry cleaner that would also backup my registry and Registry Repair was just that. I have Registry Repair scheduled to run weekly and my system seems to be running a lot smoother since. It would be nice if the program explained in detail the different registry entries that I'm repairing, but I have yet to find a program that will do so.
This software trashed my system WinXP MCE 2005

I was having a few registry issues with my installation of Windows XP, so I turned to a heavily rebated copy of Registry Repair. I'm also an IT professional was appalled by how few options this program has for the management of cleaning registries.
After using it, I can see why the vendor was trying to get rid of it. After running the cleaner utility, I keep getting DocumentViewer and TrayApp automatic installations popping up looking for software that's not clearly identified anywhere. The TrayApp runs in a repeating loop. The DocumentViewer runs and tries to install everytime I run Windows Explorer to open a file.
Lockups and freeze ups are even worse than before. Reinstalling Service Pack 2 as some has suggested to me does not work.
The best fix for this program is not to use it.

I do use some freeware programs depending on my needs, but for registry cleanup I use this product. It is affordable, and it does an excellent job. I used this product on both my computers for repairs, and they are both running flawlessly right now. I have absolutely no complaints so far and am pleased with the results.
Major Problems with Registry Repair & Stompsoft Corp 2005-12-09
I purchased Registry Repair and followed its installation instructions the same day only to have it create a registry error that Windows had to fix. When I attempted to delete it, the progam was already gone but a message remained stating that my 15 day free trial period was past - the program deleting itself. Tried to contact Stompsoft via its online site but it would not accept complaint messages; tried calling their non-toll free customer support line, but got frustrated with the looong holding time; sent Stompsoft's president a certified, return receipt letter, but he has not accepted it. Draw your own conclusions about Registry Repair and Stompsoft.
"Registry Repair" by StompSoft 2007-06-11
Program has done major damage...and company ignores request for help. I installed program in a stable 18 month old PC computer, and ran program. On rebooting, only the bios would run. Windows XP was lost...only the bios would recycle. Tried twice to contact StompSoft(by Migo) using their format, but they have not replied. I would think the industry would come down on these makeshift companies.
Effective, simple, quick and cheap 2007-05-25
Despite the generally poor reviews here, I bought the disc version of this product based on a friend's recommendation. For me it worked great. I used it on a nearly 6 year old desktop that was getting excruciatingly slow. The first step was to run Microsoft's Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to clean up stuff that the control panel uninstaller didn't effectively remove. It's downloadable from Microsoft for free. Next step was to run Registry Repair. Pretty fast it scanned the system and found 4800+ errors. I had just done a MyDocs and Registry backup; so I let Registry Repair go ahead and fix all the errors. I then rebooted. Amazingly, boot time was really fast. System works a lot quicker. It's been about three weeks and I've encountered no problems.
Don't Do IT 2007-01-15
I have spent all day trying to undo what StompSoft did. After cleaning the registry, upon start up, Windows Installer tried to load a TrayApp and Document Viewer that it couldn't find. I also received an "unhandled exception" in Microsoft.NetFramework. The only way to stop it was to end the programs (control alt delete). I then spent time in msconfig and found the problem was in the start up tab. After backing up my entire system, I tried to fix the problem by restoring the registry before the "clean up". That did not fix the problem. After going through almost the entire start up list I found the problem in the HP startup program. I loaded the driver disc from my HP printer and windows installer loaded the missing files. I now am free of the constant appearance of Windows Installer at startup. Hope this helps if you already have a problem. I just hope nothing else is haywire.
Registry Repair can delete good registry items 2007-01-12
Registry Repair reports all kinds of "errors" but a lot of the reports are bogus. Some items reported are cryptic and Registry Repair makes them look like they should be "fixed". If you're a programmer using Visual Studio, be aware that Registry Repair will destroy your project list.
They say you can get a full refund, which is not true because you have to make toll calls and jump through hoops to get an RMA. How much is your time worth anyway?
It's cheap for a reason 2006-12-29
If you are using Quickbooks, or Autocad or most likely any other application that relies heavily on registry information, be prepared to reinstall them from scratch if you allow Registry Repair to "fix the errors" it found. The backup & restore facility WILL NOT undo the changes made to the registry and restore it to the pre-repair condition.
I have seen viruses do less damage to Windows.
Do not use.
