Registry backups with ERUNT

Many XP and Vista problems are due to changes made accidentally or by "gremlins" to the registry, a database created by Windows which is read as Windows boots up and which is constantly changed by almost every program you run. Replacing a bad copy of the registry with a good one will often solve many problems quickly. BUT any good changes made in the interval between the bad and good copies are lost, so a very recent copy is worth its weight in gold. So is freeware ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) which does everything for you.
Read about it and get it from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/erunt.html Use it weekly, it takes about 15 seconds, and before and after installing a new program.

Good advice Denis. For the 15 seconds or so it takes to use ERUNT you get many hours peace of mind knowing you have a backup of the registry should a problem arise. Download it and use it now!
