Is there really a free registery fix program?
Nothing is really free. There are always ramifications and risks. Certainly, there are "free" registry "fix" programs, but you need to assess what the problem is, and you need to "guess" that the "free" program is safe to run. It is better to backup and fix the registry yourself. This means learning how it works, but that is better (in my humble opinion) than taking a risk on a poorly written or malicious program. Bigger questions... Why do you need to fix the registry? What about restoring your computer from backup? You do have a backup, don't you? Hmmm...
