A sick PC can have many causes, but the most common cause of errors and sluggish performance amongst Windows PCs is a corrupt registry.

The registry acts as the central nervous system of your computer.  It houses many important setting and preference files that Windows accesses constantly to make sure it runs programs and hardware correctly.  If these files become damaged in any way it can cause problems with your computer.

The files can become invalid, corrupt, or just obsolete.  Once enough of these bad entries build up, it causes multiple problems.

A registry repair utility can help fix the errors caused by a broken registry.

Causes of a bad registry are: the incomplete un-installation of software and hardware, spyware, viruses, and more.  Often the errors are .dll or runtime, ActiveX and more.

A registry cleaner is easy for anyone to use, and can help a great deal.
