Quick Tip

Ryan wrote to cnetlive@cnet.com,"I have a very new computer and I downloaded CCleaner to clean the registry. It found over 100 errors and I told it to fix them. It completed this and I scanned again just to make sure that it got all of them. The same errors came up again! How can I fix these errors now?" Well Ryan, the answer is to fix them again. I had the same issue. I fixed registry problems and a new scan turned up more. But after four repetitions, no more registry problems. For the folks who don't know what we're talking about, We show you how to fix up your registry in Today's Quick Tip.
