I had a problem in XP. It was recommended by Dell tech support to edit the registry, which I tried to no avail. Through some research, I found out the cause of my problem was most likely a software conflict.
I want to "clean up" XP, but I don't know what the best thing to do is. I want my registry like new, but I would like to leave my applications in tact if possible.
If I repaired Windows, would it give me a totally clean registry again? Or should I reinstall? Or should I go all the way and reformat the HD and start over?
