The others are CCleaner and Advanced WindowsCare Personal V.2. Finally, I express my gratitude to Eusing for donating this excellent program as 'Freeware' with the option to donate.Įusing FRC was the first of three registry cleaners recently downloaded and used.
At least they are for me! In this instance, it is also a little bit hazy as to exactly how to execute a specific restore but this does not detract from the overall performance of the program.
I find dates, times and numbers are inadequate to recall the exact nature of the error I fixed. However, if there is a downside and find this with all programs designed for this specific purpose, while it is a real bonus to be able to 'Back-Up', I wish developers would incorporate a method for the 'User' to personally identify each back-up. The choice for editing is comprehensive and readily identified. The interface is very intuitive and nicely designed. v1.2 integrated with Windows 98 and found it to perform quite exceptionally. This proved a very pleasing application to use. But you should know what you are doing and not be afraid of the registry. This is a great utility, a necessary antidote to Microsoft's sloppy programming.
As a result the PC crashed on reboot, corrupting the XP system file! This was easily fixed and the PC is now much faster and more reliable. I used it on a desktop littered with interacting MS stuff, like Office and Visual Studio, where it fixed 1500 errors. The automatic registry backup gives confidence, and the cleaning is better than any other. It found and fixed 540 errors missed by the others! Office then installed properly.
Eventually, I deleted every file referencing Office by hand, and used the Eusing cleaner on the registry. None of the solutions on the Web worked, or my existing cleaners. No uninstall worked properly and Office refused to work on reinstall.
The problem I had was a corrupted install of MS Office 2007. By default this program creates this backup each time you use it and has a button labeled: "Restore Previous Registry" just in case you want to restore the previous backup.Īlthough I have used this program for a long time and it has never caused any problems at all my feelings about 'registry cleaners' in general are that they should always be used with great caution - as well as ALWAYS using the so called back up option - but especially when used by beginners. Like many of these types of cleaners after the initial scan the Eusing Free Registry Cleaner also provides a list of choices and allows the user to "untick" any choices the user deems unworthy of removal.īefore the program deletes any keys, it automatically creates a backup of the registry and allows you to easily undo any changes if needed. And the computers that I use to 'test new freeware' has literally hundreds of programs installed on two large hard drives, so if there was any problem caused by Eusing I surely would have noticed it by now.
Pro Edition available.I have used this program for several years now (using Win XP professional as well as Win 7 professional) and it has never caused any problems at all.
