PC World is recommending the free Glary Registry Repair software. Does
anyone have any experience with this or any thoughts in general? I am leary
of programs that are supposed to find and repair registry problems.

Registry programs are almost always a bad idea. Especially if you don't
know enough to fix it without the program.
 
Thanks to all you folks for your input. I actually feel that way too because
i have heard these sentiments before but i thought since it was recommended
by PC World it might be good. However, as pointed out, PC World is a
business and one should take that into consideration. Since I am leary about
doing anything in the Registry because of my level of knowledge I will
continue to stay clear of software like this. Thank you all for your
opinions.

I use Eusing - with much caution.

Many people advise against using registry scanning / repair programs.

They're probably right.

Registry repair on WinXP Pro SP2?

Actually I didn't need one until I tried and tried to fix a problem for an
application that wouldn't install properly. I tried a lot of things and
finally I noticed that RegCure provided a 30-day money back guarantee. This
was 1Q/2Q2007. I decided to make a backup of my system 'just in case' so I
tried it and RegCure actually fixed whatever it was that was causing the
error. After RegCure I was able to install the application and nothing was
affected by RegCure in any negative way. I don't work for RegCure nor do I
market their products. Until my experience with RegCure, I'd be in the same
'why use it camp'.
It runs on my workstation once or so a week finding 'stuff'. I'm not too
sure what it does but it runs. I do know that it did help. Had I used it
earlier in my search, I would have saved a lot of time.
My 2cents worth.
