greedo Clogged up Registry in XP

Hello to all

I think I need to clean out all of my invalid registry entries. I tend to install and uninstall alot of programs on my pc, and it's performance has been getting slower and slower lately . Can someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks

If you do a lot of installing/uninstalling, it might not be a bad idea to clean out temp files and defrag as well.

I ran that software and it removed quite a few things but its still not the problem. Some programs even take up to a minute to execute. My hard drives are defraged already. Well I guess I will start a new thread on this. thanks again
