Sadly, I must second prettyfaces post. It worked for me well, but I experienced the same slowdown, not after months but after certain numbers of scans or defrags. Sorry for not being able to give more details, I was unable to run a professional trouble shooting. I mostly used it only for scans, very often, to get a picture of my registry general health and slowdown came after a dozens of scan. Otherwise it seemed to scan and defrag the registry correctly. I gave low rating, though, for the tool for being outdated both interface and functionality i.e. no detailed results for sections etc. Newer freeware registry defrag apps can do it.

I have been using this freeware apps for quite some time and it works very well. I have noticed an improvement in performance and it has never broken anything. Not all Registry Defraggers/compactors can make that claim. I have and will continue to recommend it to others.

Not knowing a lot ( = practically anything ) about the registry, I took a blind trust in people saying, it needs fixing, and even defragging. It made sense to me. I've never needed to regret that sense: working with my registry has kept my computer's speed up. In my view, defragging seems to be the edge of the sword: a remarkably small procedure, yet does a significant difference. I've never had any problems with this program, even if it goes to the heart of the OS. Anything but recommending would be false.

This is a little nice utility. I have used it for some time with several versions of Windows. So far, Windows 98 and Me became a nightmare and in some cases the HD must be reformatted; talking about Windows 2000 and Windows XP is another story and it works pretty nice. For best results use it monthly and clean the registry with CCleaner (or similar) first. I almost forgot the interface; well it has a lot of orthographic mistakes that must be fixed; otherwise a good utility makes it author looks not so good!

Since there doesn't seem to be any other registry defragmenters out there other than this one, I gave it a try. For 3 or 4 months it seemed to perform OK then problems started to arise after defrag. My computer slowed down to such a degree, it required a reformat. The same thing happened again right after, making it twice in a row after using this software. Since I wasn't sure if it really was this software causing the problem the first time it happened, I found out it was after the second incident. This problem hasn't reoccurred since I uninstalled it almost 2 months ago. I would recommend it, but with caution!

Does what it claims to do in Win XP and Me quickly and efficiently. Suitable for anyone as far as I can see.

Nice to have an analysis before deciding to defrag or not. The program does perform a quick analysis and defrag. Have used this a few times on a couple of pc's with no issues resulting from. I feel what makes this a standout as compared to other defrag programs is its clean interface and analysis function.
