Save 20% On Registry Mechanic & Stop Computer Crashes!

We've received more unsolicited reader testimonials for Registry Mechanic than we have for any other Cloudeight-recommended and endorsed program. Each week we receive dozens of reader comments about the big difference in computer performance Registry Mechanic has made. These unsolicited comments come from readers just like you who relate their own experiences with Registry Mechanic to us. It's easy to see why so many people have written - Registry Mechanic makes computers run better and can save you a lot of money helping you avoid expensive repair bills!

Here are a just two of the many comments we received this week about Registry Mechanic.

ScreenshotA Comment From Judith
I kept reading positive comments about Registry Mechanic in your InfoAve Premium Newsletter so I finally bought it for my year old laptop. That was about six weeks ago, I've had no problems with it and last week I bought another subscription of it for my 3 year old PC. It found/repaired 908 problems. Registry Mechanic is one tool I would recommend for sure. I use IE 7. Judith - happy computer user.

A Comment From Jim R.
"...before I knew about Registry Mechanic, I downloaded a different registry cleaner. In the scan it found almost 1000 errors. When I got Registry Mechanic, it found 600 errors. I have often wondered about the difference. Then I got your wonderful 3rd e-book. You speak often of registry cleaners that cause problems. I believe that I was saved from a problem by going with Registry Mechanic. You two are the greatest! Take Care, Jim R..."

Registry Mechanic uses a high-performance detection algorithm to quickly identify missing and invalid references in your Windows registry. These problems can occur for many reasons including being left-behind after the un-installation or incorrect removal of software, by missing or corrupt hardware drivers, or orphaned startup programs.

This Week's Rant

Ode To Futility
The real story behind Thurman L. Gaston's famous ode

Delirious with fever and hobbling on one foot, he broke the surly bonds of the tangled vines that had held him captive for nearly a week and soon found himself splashing in a pool of stagnant, algae-laden water. The corrosive liquid scathed his raw skin and made him grimace in searing pain. Every vine-scarred inch of his body oozed and itched.

Alone and nearly drowning in putrid green water, he called feebly for help. His pleas were inaudible against the thunder of the muddy cataracts which roared behind him as they spilled their brown-green filth into the gorge in which he now helplessly flailed. It was then, as if blessed by a sudden gift from the gods, that he wrote his famous "Ode To Futility".

Jenni asks about accessing Yahoo Mail with Outlook Express
I've been using Yahoo mail for a long time. I know you guys like Gmail better, but I have used Yahoo so long I just hate to switch now. I know you can configure Gmail to work with Outlook Express. I would like to ask if it's possible to access my free Yahoo account with Outlook Express? I love your Premium newsletters, your E-books and I have several of your programs (Smileycons, FolderMagic, and CalendarPal). Thanks for all you do. Jenni.

WinBubble -Easy tweaking for Windows Vista
One of our favorite tips of days gone by for Windows 98, ME, 2000 and Windows XP was to install Tweak UI - the little, unsanctioned Windows tweaker created and distributed by Microsoft although never officially supported by Microsoft. We're guessing they were a little concerned that people would damage their computers with it and sue Microsoft (Heaven forbid!). But, actually TweakUI was a tame tweaker that never did anyone any harm. In fact, it did a lot of people a great deal of good because it made it easy for ordinary folks to tweak some of Windows hidden settings that should have never been hidden to begin with.
