Some programs that you install may import values into the Registry that overwrite the original settings. Even if the programs are uninstalled, you may not get the Registry back to original. Test-Run ...

Outstanding Program !!! Free too. This is a very simple tool that doesn't install anything to the registry. It allows you to copy your registry, switch to the copy and install software in a temporary registry. If the software is ok you can keep the registry. If it messes up your computer you can switch back to the original. An absolute must for those who install freeware. Read the instructions CAREFULLY, twice!!

For pre-XP operating systems, Test-Run is a necessity and a blessing. It copies your registry; you switch on Test-Run, and your computer uses the copy; you install a cool game, play it a little, and your system crashes, or freezes, or loads up with junk. So you calmly say, "too bad," and you uninstall the game, and then you use Test-Run to switch back to your real, unaffected, still-okay registry: no damage done. Or you get a new utility, it doesn't work out, you uninstall it and switch back: Test-Run makes uninstalling literal: no little snippets left behind. If only I had Test-Run when I first began to download things and try them out.... how many BSODs would I have *not* seen! This is a small program, and its "testing" wallpaper is certainly unglamorous, but it's "System Restore" plus "ERUNT" for older computers. Get it. Read the documentation carefully and more than once. And discover the fun that new programs should be.
