I've recently been having some issues with my computer (running slow, pop-ups, etc.) and decided that today, I'm going to try to get them all resolved. Everything that I can think of that's bothering be about my system's performance, I'm going to research it out, one by one, and get it cleaned up.

Now I don't know a whole lot about computers, but I do know that one of the best places to start checking for problems is the Registery. So, I searched out this program and am now in the process of trying to get someone to interpret what it means. Does anyone feel like being a good neigbor and lending me some of your knowledge?

Thanks in advance guys.

Kurt
