The system registry includes important information needed to boot up the computer and run Windows-based applications. If the registry is damaged or contains errors, the system may run more slowly, blue screen or fail to boot up at all. Certain functions in registry-based applications may not function properly or the programs may not start at all. Registry repair software can help restore a corrupt Windows Registry or correct errors that cause system and application malfunctions.
