Anyone using XP Medic or Registry Patrol?

AskNerd, in an expose of registry cleaner commercial reviewers posing as independent and unbiased reviewers (What is the Best Registry Cleaner to Use ?), stated that he was using/had used both XP Medic ( xpmedic.com ) and Registry Patrol and recommended both.

However, in users reviews on CNET forum "PC applications & utilities" Registry Patrol was found to be lacking support to the point that the reviews were so negative that I wondered whether any Geeks had similar experience?

 

Yep, mgbinnewhaw. I've been trying to use it for awhile, but all it's done is make me mad. I can only get it to work in Windows Safe Mode, but not all the modules behave themselves. My bug detector says XP Medic is causing a continual Range Check Error (whatever that is) at a particular memory address. I guess I'll try it on another machine, but other postings make me think it won't do any good. You ever get yours fixed (or refunded)?
