RegCure – free, but it's a come-on for the chargeable version – claims to find 771 errors on my Vista Home Basic PC, which the free version declines to fix.

I've not used RegCure but I wouldn't touch it with a proverbial barge pole. It seems unlikely that registry cleaners will do much to improve a Windows Vista or XP SP2/3 PC and there's a risk that they will damage it. I have used CCleaner, which takes a soft approach to registry cleaning, but current thinking is that the registry is best backed up with the Emergency Recovery Utility NT, Erunt and then left alone. For more thinking on registry cleaning, read Bill Castner's comments in Should I Use a Registry Cleaner?
