Repair Broken

Windows XP is a pretty stable operating system as long as it is updated regularly with the latest patches released. However, it can get unstable at times if too many 3rd party programs are installed or viruses or trojans end up wrecking havoc in the system.

Poorly written programs, viruses, trojans, power surges, and other unfortunate causes can affect critical system files and possibly even the windows registry. Some of the problems in your Windows XP can be quite elusive especially if it's a system slowdown or a mysterious error message.

Before you start trying to find ways to fix it, you should identify the problem first and find out if the registry is really broken. The trick on how to repair broken registry in Windows XP is to perform various scans for problems and diagnostics outside the registry.

Improper tampering of the registry can cause even more problems so you should repair it only if you really need to.

Scan for physical problems

If your system is running slow, maybe some files are corrupted by a power surge or improper shutdown. Affected areas may include the registry too if some settings are missing. A quick disk check using the built-in hardware tools in Windows XP can detect and repair minor hard drive problems. Defragging your computer may even solve some performance issues.

These rogue software may also restore bad entries that are deleted by registry cleaners so be sure to get rid of them first.

Restart and do another check

After doing those three maintenance operations, restart your computer and see if the problem still arises. If certain settings can't be saved or missing items are found throughout your system, then most likely it is a problem in the registry.

Install a registry cleaner and perform a full scan
