If you have used your computer for any length of time you have registry errors. This means you probably need a Windows XP registry cleaner.

What is a Registry Error?

Let us start by telling you what registry errors are, then you can start to see how big a problem they can be. Simply put, registry errors are any errors in the core programming code of your Windows XP. They can be corrupt files in your registry, empty registry keys, links that point to nothing, ActiveX errors, etc. They can cause any number of things from slow computer, strange errors popping up, blue screen errors, crashing programs, to system crashes.

Causes of Registry Errors

There are several causes of registry errors. The most common is virus infection. Other causes are improper installation or un-installation of programs, getting over zealous in your cleaning off the hard drive and accidentally deleting files needed by the registry, and poorly written programs operating on your computer.
