Here is another plug for ERUNT. It has bailed me out many times. That said, to the OP. I don't think a registry cleaner is going to help you. I have never seen one that does any more but make the registry load faster and remove unneeded DLLs and such making the computer run faster. It won't help on stability issue. My two suggestions are get and load the free utility AUTORUNS and look at startup especially. Turn off anything you don't need to start at start up or ever need. As for the blue screens. Look at what module (.sys . dll etc) crashed as well as write down the stop code and that is going to be your clue to the fix. You may need to update a driver, or uninstall a conflicting program, or Google that stop code for ideas. Lastly, if you have not, many blue screens are caused by malware. Install Malwarebytes malwarebytes.org and let it do a full scan. Hawker ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
