It's cheap for a reason [Posted on 2006-12-29] If you are using Quickbooks, or Autocad or most likely any other application that relies heavily on registry information, be prepared to reinstall them from scratch if you allow Registry Repair to "fix the errors" it found. The backup & restore facility WILL NOT undo the changes made to the registry and restore it to the pre-repair condition.
I have seen viruses do less damage to Windows.
Do not use.
Registry Repair can delete good registry items [Posted on 2007-01-12] Registry Repair reports all kinds of "errors" but a lot of the reports are bogus. Some items reported are cryptic and Registry Repair makes them look like they should be "fixed". If you're a programmer using Visual Studio, be aware that Registry Repair will destroy your project list.
They say you can get a full refund, which is not true because you have to make toll calls and jump through hoops to get an RMA. How much is your time worth anyway?
Don't Do IT [Posted on 2007-01-15] I have spent all day trying to undo what StompSoft did. After cleaning the registry, upon start up, Windows Installer tried to load a TrayApp and Document Viewer that it couldn't find. I also received an "unhandled exception" in Microsoft.NetFramework. The only way to stop it was to end the programs (control alt delete). I then spent time in msconfig and found the problem was in the start up tab. After backing up my entire system, I tried to fix the problem by restoring the registry before the "clean up". That did not fix the problem. After going through almost the entire start up list I found the problem in the HP startup program. I loaded the driver disc from my HP printer and windows installer loaded the missing files. I now am free of the constant appearance of Windows Installer at startup. Hope this helps if you already have a problem. I just hope nothing else is haywire.
Effective, simple, quick and cheap [Posted on 2007-05-25] Despite the generally poor reviews here, I bought the disc version of this product based on a friend's recommendation. For me it worked great. I used it on a nearly 6 year old desktop that was getting excruciatingly slow. The first step was to run Microsoft's Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to clean up stuff that the control panel uninstaller didn't effectively remove. It's downloadable from Microsoft for free. Next step was to run Registry Repair. Pretty fast it scanned the system and found 4800+ errors. I had just done a MyDocs and Registry backup; so I let Registry Repair go ahead and fix all the errors. I then rebooted. Amazingly, boot time was really fast. System works a lot quicker. It's been about three weeks and I've encountered no problems.
"Registry Repair" by StompSoft [Posted on 2007-06-11] Program has done major damage...and company ignores request for help. I installed program in a stable 18 month old PC computer, and ran program. On rebooting, only the bios would run. Windows XP was lost...only the bios would recycle. Tried twice to contact StompSoft(by Migo) using their format, but they have not replied. I would think the industry would come down on these makeshift companies.
