I know this is a common error with Google Desktop on Vista and, IIRC, Google released a patch to fix it. It's highly probable that your problem was a software or configuration issue, not an invalid registry entry. Whatever the case, it's fixed now, eh? RegCure cleans up invalid registry entries, nothing more. Normally, invalid registry entries do not cause errors, they just waste registry space. Cluttered registries can slow down boot time and decrease overall system performance. The primary purpose of RegCure is to get all of the clutter cleaned out. <i>What good is this program, and why so many “need to be fixed” problems on a new computer?</i> If it detected 243 errors in your registry, then it's doing its job well and you've nothing to complain about. You ought to ask Dell why there were so many invalid registry entries on a new computer, not question why RegCure did what it's supposed to do. I had a “incorrect DLL loaded” problem, went on web for fix, add said RegCure would fix it, PURCHASED RegCure software, ran scan, it said it fixed 243 problems, and I still had the problem!

What good is this program, and why so many “need to be fixed” problems on a new computer?

I am not a software programmer for a living, but I am Java, C++, Pearl, Binary, and A+ certified, and make software for my own enjoyment. If I were to come up with a genuinely good program, I would want to get money for all the hard work I put into right? Steven, did you make the programs you so desperately cleave to and want for free? Did you toil night and day; spending many a night debugging software? No?...then don't expect "Corporate America" to pay for it or just give it to...you don't deserve it...pay for the software... @Aldacron…true, wanting hand outs for something you neither earned or deserve is wrong, and @Steven, making money isn’t wrong is it?

RegCure doesn't even protect your computer. All it does is clean out unused entries from your registry. And there are few free programs to do that, such as the venerable Regclean. So why, then, with all of the free alternatives do you want to pirate commercial versions? And how do you *deserve* free protection for your computer? Do you deserve free food as well? Free housing? Wouldn't it be much better if you went to the local department store and took all that you needed for free? It is not a crime to make money. We all have that opportunity in America. Even you can come up with a product or service idea and sell it. You could also choose to give it away for free. But if you did choose to sell and decided to make a living by it, do you think you would be happy for people to take your product or use your service and not pay you for it? If you aren't happy living in a society that encourages entrepreneurialism, you might want to seek out a communist society. There's no such thing as a corporate machine in North Korea. Perhaps there you can get what you deserve. By the way, I'm happy to inform you that you have earned the second <a href="http://aldacron.net/blog/2007/01/20/moron-of-the-week-2/" rel="nofollow">Moron of the Week Award</a>.

The only ones who are actually doing something illegal/immoral are the ones who put the damn trojans and other malware out there to get on our computers. For these companies that offer this type of protection, like regkey(orwhatever), and expect us to pay for it can kiss my ass. They are the ones putting these horrible programs out there and making money everytime we buy their software to take care of it. Yes you may say that I am a conspiracy theorist, and you may be right. I know what goes on and im fed up with it. I do nothing to deserve this type of treatment. All I want and deserve, just like every other American, is free protection for our home computers. Make Corporate America pay for it. God knows how much they make off of us every hour. And the fact that you say that we are stealing, the ones who are stealing is the companies that offer the "protection" with their godawful profit margins. Anyone who makes that much money off innocent human beings shoud be "thrown to the wolves!" Look dude.
