Hi
Had some recent problems when I "repaired" some invalid registry keys identified by my registry checker. Basically caused the prog to stop working for about 2 weeks!
Have reinstalled Pro X2 and rerun the registry checker. This has highlighted three Corel related keys which need to be repaired.
HKEY CURRENT USER Software/U Lead/Corel VS/12.0/HerRFL
HKEY CURRENT USER ...................................../VIO/Recent Dir/Dir 1
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE Software/U Lead/Corel VS/12.0
Can anyone figure out why these are suddenyl appearing and whether reparing will be a high risk strategy?
Many thanks
Tony

As per previous posts I have made regarding the use of Registry Cleaners.
do NOT use them unless there is a specific reason (peace of mind does not count) for doing so.
Registry cleaners do not contain a big database of what is a correct entry and what isn't. It makes assumptions based upon criteria a computer programmer has put together. These amount to educated guesses and whilst in most cases the program will guess correctly they are also prone to error and you end up deleting things that shouldn't be deleted.
If you are deep into computers you might create your own registry entries for one reason or another. As an example in earlier versions of Microsoft Access I would use the Windows Registry to determine which work group the program should belong to so that Microsoft Access would force you to log on with a user name and password. How would a registry cleaner deal with my home made entries?
If you do (have to) use a registry cleaner then you must ensure that you are competent and confident that you can reverse any changes made by the registry cleaner before you proceed.
