Install software on your computer, then uninstall months later and you'll soon find that your system begins to slow, that your computer still thinks parts of this software is installed on your machine and other software can get confused. The problem is that not everything related to the software is removed from your Registry and irrelevant entries remain, which can cause confusion over filetypes, startup applications and which security application is your default choice.

For this reason, we've secured the full commercial version of PC Tools Registry Mechanic 6, which is Vista-compatible, and worth £30, with the current edition of Computeractive magazine, issue 255, on-sale now at your favourite newsagent. Hurry though as this magazine goes off-sale  13th of December 2007 and the Registry Mechanic 6 full commercial download ends soon after!
