If you want to know why you shouldn't use Windows registry repair software then you need to read this post. While there are good reasons to use registry repair software, this post will discuss the reasons you shouldn't use it, or the alternatives to using an automated fix.

1. It Is Not A "Run Once" Solution

Doing a Windows registry repair will usually increase the performance of your PC. Freezes, sluggishness and intermittent errors can also be fixed. However, using this software once only will not contain the problem. The Windows registry is constantly changing as software is used, installed and removed; as printers and other devices are used and have driver information updated.

To completely free yourself of the performance and other issues you will need to set yourself some kind of reasonable schedule for scanning and repairing your registry. In the better software packages this process of scheduling can be automated.

2. Trade Carefully Around Vista

As we all know by now, Windows Vista has many quirks and issues with software not specifically designed to be run with Vista. Before doing a Vista registry repair, ensure that the software you are using is 100% certified to be run with Vista.

The last thing you want to do is go from the frying pan into the fire. Running non-certified Vista software to try and repair the Windows registry is asking for trouble.

3. What Registry Fix Software Won't Fix

If you need to change file associations and doing this through the Windows interface doesn't seem to work (a common problem I have noticed with Windows Vista), running a registry scan and clean is not going to help you. This is a situation that calls for using REGEDIT. If you are wary of using REGEDIT, you can find plenty of tutorials on the web.

In short, before using Windows registry repair software, ensure you really should be doing it.
