Windows XP is one of he most powerful and popular operating systems in the world, but it's got a big problem in the form of the 'registry'.
This part of XP has been affectionately nicknamed the "Achilles Heel Of Windows" because it is constantly making problems for your PC, including slow it down and causing errors.
This is a big problem which affects every XP system and to fix it, you just need to use a registry cleaner...
but which one is the best? Although there are a lot of registry cleaners for XP, they have all been produced to do the same job - to clean out a part of your system called the 'registry'.
The registry is a big database which sits at the heart of Windows, storing all sorts of information and settings about your PC.
Everything from your latest emails to your desktop wallpaper are kept in this database, making it one of the most important and frequently used parts of your system.
However, it's also prone to becoming corrupt and damaged, which is a big problem for XP.
You see, because the registry is constantly being used by your system, Windows is constantly opening and editing 100's of registry files.
This is okay, but unfortunately, it means that your computer is constantly trying to read too many registry files, leading it to save many of them in the wrong way.
This makes the files corrupt, mixing their contents around like a book with its pages in the wrong order; which makes your computer take longer to read the files, slowing it down and causing errors.
To fix this, registry cleaners were invented.
They work by cleaning out all the damaged and corrupt files from the registry, allowing your computer to read the files it wants, whenever it needs them.
However, with so many registry cleaners out there, it's important you have the best one for your computer.
Because if you have one which isn't very good, you stand the chance of it removing the wrong registry files fro your PC, causing permanent and irreparable damage.
Having tested all the most popular XP registry cleaners, we've found that a handful of them are very good at cleaning up your computer.
These cleaners work by scanning every registry file and then finding the most problems to fix.
However, the most effective of all the cleaners we used was one called "RegAce".
This is an unlikely candidate for XP, because it's one of the latest registry cleaners to hit the market, having only been released in early 2009.
However, it's already one of the most popular cleaners out there, with 100's of downloads a day.
It's become so popular thanks to several highly advanced features, which allow it to quickly find the most problems in the likes of Windows 7, Vista and XP.
These features include an advanced scanning engine (which can find and fix the most XP registry problems) and a complete backup facility (which will protect your PC from any damage).
