I uninstalled a few programs a while ago and had a feeling they weren't completely gone. So i downloaded the trial version of RegSupreme Pro1.2, but i don't really know how to work it. I opened the program, clicked on registry cleaner, and clicked normal acan. It found 248 errors!! Should I remove all of them? or could that mess up my system? I have no clue on what to do. Thanks for any help, B
