RegistryBooster 2 is an automated registry cleaner.
The argument against this type of utility is that they only need to
remove one wrong entry in the Registry and they can render the computer
inoperable. On the other hand the removal of redundant registry entries
gives a negligible, if any, improvement in performance. The questionable
benefits do not justify the inherent risks in using the utility.

Thanks to Gerry, all you great guys who helped, and Robert Lafayette who
fortunately had a very similar problem. I unistalled the new HP C7200 and
then reinstalled it. Right now, everything seems to be working. Part of my
problem was that I did so much over a very short period of time. My printer
died so I bought a new one. My Norton expired so I installed a new version,
Norton 360. My Yahoo Desktop search wasn't working right and wouldn't let me
pick the appropriate drive, so I unstalled it and installed Google Desktop
Search. So I had to look at many things at once. But since my CPU storage has
dropped to normal after reinstalled the All-in-One printer, I'm hoping the
problem is solved.
I wish that Microsoft would pay the salaries of a few geeks to provide help.
In any case, I am very appreciate of volunteers like you guys who help me for
free. I'm not nearly as smart as you guys are in computing, but if you ever
need help in nuclear physics, please contact me.
BTW, how do you find these problems in the first place? When somebody
messenges a problem, how do you find out about it? Does it just appear on
your screens?
Also, what do you think is the best desktop search program available,
especially, but not necessarily, if it's free.
Thanks again, very, very much.
