Thanks IPlural, I just ran all of it, puter showing better performance already. Went from 1900 kbps to 2195 kbps on downloads. 141 kbps to 201 on uploads.I keep a check on Knology.net.
Thanks for the advice.
One question though, If I choose not to purchase it, what happens? Will my puter go back to the orignal state it was in before I downloaded the shareware?

no, won't switch things back on you 
that would be just plain mean
no, it used to just nag at you when ran after the trial, now though it might refuse to load all the way, but all optimizations are left in order.
this is one of very few programs I will mention to anyone asking. Everyone will ahev what they feel is best, for me this is one of a few that I find works best across all systems.

Actually, I've used three or four of them. And each one finds different legitimate problems with my registry. I haven't found one that finds everything the others do.

RegHealer works well, though it did not do a complete clean, defrag and compression as
System Mechanics does.
System Mechanics registry cleaner is the safest and fullest reg tool I have come across for
manging it. I lean on it just as I used to lean on Norton Utilities and PCTools back in 1988 and really used to wish I had something similar to them back in 1986.
Both of which along with XTree and Norton Commander were main stays of us computer techs back then. When PC Tools and Norton started coming on a number of 360k and 720k floppies their usefulness started being questioned. That is one of the reasons Norton had always put
an Emergency Disk (boot disk) together on the install media including the CD's. But now with
NTFS being the norm Norton needs to come out with an NFTSDos utility such as Winternals.
I know of a number of utilities, actual I have forgotten more than I remember, including about computers , but just because there is a tool to do this or that does not mean it is best to tell everyone about it. The reason I say this is I know of utilities that a person could run and render their system totally dead in the water if they make one mistake with not reading and following the screens exactly, or not understanding exactly what they are about to tell the software to do. What purpose would that serve other than to tick someone off and do harm where none was intended?
Koasati "where" future version?

Thank you all, I have fell in love with System Mechanics.
I tried RegHealer and didnt care for it. Trial= only 14 corrections, then rescan. Naaaa.....
Seems like there hideing something until you buy the program.
I trust System Mechanics, because it is letting me use the complete program. I will be buying it.
Plus, my computer has never run so smoothly.
Again, Thanks IPlural

ohhhh, anyone remember RMenu? It let you create an ASCII menu before Windows came about?
There was GEOS also which actually was pretty nice but died out shortly.
DesqVIEW 386 and DesqVIEW-X with QEMM were my main environments for a very long time. I always thought that they would take it further and it would evolve into something along the lines of Windows, of course, Microsoft did de-compile QEMM and some other products there at the beginning if I remember correctly which led to long drug out law suits that eventually were bought off out of court...
eh, oh well... trivial trivia
