Registry cleaner

Cheers guys. running well at the moment but as stated it does sometimes go ok anyway.

Re the internet speed - are those speeds ok - 6-7 ish download, 0.37 upload, 0.5 ping? I'm with madasafish which advertise up to 8mg so i guess 7 is not bad, but i know some go up to 100 (I'm in Leeds though, not sure if available here anyway)

internet speed is mainly dependant on your line stats and the package you're on, without knowing those commenting on the speed would be a complete stab in the dark. If you want to post them for further comment, log into your router and post them up here, in particular line rate, attenuation and snrm for both up & downstream

When I click on safecom it just says:

Under the hood its a origo/conexant based router.
From the web interface http://10.0.0.2

> ADSL Line Status
Default username = "admin".
Password can vary but try epicrouter or leave blank

Doesn't tell me how to log in or anything? When I click on the 10.0.0 thing nothing happens - it wont load.

You didn't answer the previous "who is your ISP" question but this router will have a model number.

See if this works here.

My computer is really really slow. I've been on before and had some help and loooked at the guide but it's all quite complex for total beginners. Just looked online and came accross Web Minds Reg Ace, some sort of registry cleaner. On a free scan they claim to have found about 2000 "problems" with my system. Is this type of thing any good and are there any free versions people would recommend? Or, failing that, any really, really basic steps I can btake to try and speed up my computer?

Cheers

That is not the advice normally given on this forum - investigation is much better than a poke & hope approach!

Nice but most people only know how to use Windows as they would to drive a car but not know how to maintain it, this does everything for them.

Certainly saved me a lot of time putting it on the families laptops/computers

Agreed, he needs something like I've posted which cleans the registry and also defrags it....................it will also do lots more and leave the computer running like new
