Hello Jim,
I'm happy to hear that you are back up and running again without losing anything, but sorry it took a clean install.
I agree with the other person that helped you. Registry cleaning programs are to be avoided at all cost. There are just to many out there that are nothing more than snake oil that claim to fix everything including the kitchen sing that only cause damage to Windows usually leading to have to reinstall.
Registry cleaners that are over aggressive in reporting what should be removed from the registry is often the problem. The next problem is the user allowing these results to be deleted from the registry without knowing what is safe or not safe to allow to delete. The program doesn't really help to let the user know what is safe or not, and the ones that do may not always be correct. We all know what happens if you delete something from the registry that shouldn't have been deleted. You'll find yourself with an unstable/crashing Windows and/or other programs.
