Over 300 registry errors reported after fresh installation!!! Wow. I have performed a fresh (oem) install of Windows 7 home premium twice and immediately afterword then install and run Registry Mechanic ver. 8 and it reports over 300 registry errors. It will always fix all but 228 of them. What's up with that? The machine runs OK but this just bugs me. Should I be concerned? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

Let me guess, it will remove the rest if you send them money. I wouldn't trust the program. You could check for the same errors using Ccleaner and it's free. CAUTION should be use any time you mess around with the registry.
Something I do after a fresh install. Install all Windows updates and then defrag using Windows built in defragger. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home made Desktop OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Thanks. Thanks for the replies and useful info. I'm going to format and install again, update the OS then leave it alone. I'm new to Windows 7 and am still learning.

I wouldn't be concerned with registry errors unless they are affecting Windows or your programs. After several incarnations of Windows, it's pretty normal to have errors. I don't even bother to run registry cleaners anymore.

+2 on all the above comments about Registry Cleaner's.
Windows 7 does a great job in handling registry problems so STAY AWAY FROM ANY AND ALL REGISTRY CLEANER'S!
Now that we have beaten this horse to death...Everyone have a great week-end.

WHS,
Totally agree with your statement about new customers.
I was one of them years ago asking the same types of questions.
