I download a free trial of this software that maintains your registry. It found 163 errors lol, only let me fix 15 in the trial version though

price is steep but do you think its worth it or are there other options out there?
Messing with the registry is a dangerous undertaking, would it be a bad idea for me to manually do it based off of the registry extentions the program shows me?

In the past I've succesfully fixed a couple of registry entries that were messed up due to a virus. But there was plenty of documentation for me to follow that time.
One thing I remember about registry work is that there are an endless number of "Be VERY VERY careful about messing with the registry" type warnings. Enough to make me pretty wary of messing with it, without adequate training, or the ability to get myself out of a big hole, if I've dug myself into one.
I've used a registry fixing program before out of desperation, but even that gave me the heebie-jeebies, as it was difficult to know the end results of what I was doing. It's all voodoo-magic to me...

Take a look at the Symantec products. I use both Northon Systemworks 2005 and Norton Internet Security 2005. You can actually set it up to run defrag once it reaches a predetermined fragment level, correct registry errors, delete unneeded temp files, browser files, etc. And it'll all run automatically whenever you tell it too. Works great.
