    hi all, for some reason now my computer has been running slow, freezing and then restarting it self, it deos this a few times a day, i have an error message sometime from my graphics card which it says it needs to restart the graphics or around them lines.
    I downloaded regcure which got rid of a few problems then read on here about ccleaner and hijackt his, i've done a scan on hijack this and this is what came up.

    If you use registry optimzer be sure to create a ghost image file of your hdd first it flags far too many entries as deletable when they are for system files,doing a search for reviews it does'nt rate too well either & in some cases has broken systems, ccleaner nor norton win doctor ever do that,that optimzer prog is also not free,if you do a web search you can find instructions on how to make registry edits to improve performance
