ActiveX is a programming language commonly found in different programs. What it does is allow programs to function with each other, and within each other, which is why it’s commonly found in web browsers. You’re also likely to encounter the majority of your ActiveX errors in relation to your web browser as a result.
Why these errors occur is often related to the registry, particularly a cluttered registry. This is because the registry stores all of the important file and program associations, as well as other setting and preference information. When these files become outdated or corrupt, programs, such as your web browser, will not have the proper information to run other programs, leading to errors.
The best way to eliminate these errors is to use a good registry cleaner to eradicate old settings and registry files from the registry. This will ensure your program associations are up to date, and all of your programs are running smoothly. You should have no problem watching videos, playing web games, listening to music, or any performing any other similar task in your browser from that point on.

Not all registry cleaners are created equal. While many come with at least the same basic features and functions, the similarities often end there. To help you separate the vital functions from the extraneous one, we’ve compiled this list of the most important features to look for in a registry cleaner.
Accessibility
Most users are going to have difficulty understanding what each registry entry does and its importance, so it’s vital for a good registry program to clearly mark the importance of each entry and its overall function. This should give the user enough information to be able to make an informed decision about what they want to do after the results of a scan.
Updates
The dynamics of computer hardware and software are constantly changing and evolving, and this makes find a program that regularly updates to stay on top of the latest trends a must. Updates should be frequent enough that performance is optimized and unobtrusive enough that you won’t even know they’re happening.
Performance Analysis
A good registry cleaner will be confident in its ability to improve system performance and should be willing to prove it. By monitoring and keeping track of your system start up time, and the launch times and execution of other important system functions, it should be able to show you the increase in performance that has been achieved courtesy of its use. Even when that increase appears only marginal, say a few seconds, that indicates a much improved registry and overall system performance.
Automatic Backups
Registry values are a sensitive thing that can affect the performance of any and all facets of your computer. While a good cleaner should not do anything it (and you) will regret, it should automatically make a backup in the event that something goes horribly awry, and changes made to the registry need to be reverted.
These are a few key things to look for when choosing a registry cleaner such as our own Registry Commander, and features which we feel should not be underestimated.

DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library Files. They’re called “library” files because they contain functions that many other files can “borrow” whenever they’re needed. Programmers long ago realized this was a more efficient way to design systems, instead of putting these functions into every program that might need them.
For an example, a DLL file might contain functions that help with fonts or graphics. Since a lot of different programs deal with typing and graphics, many different programs might need these functions. DLL files can be used by more than one program at the same time.
Computers usually have thousands of these files, and there can be problems with compatibility.
This sometimes happens because manufacturers have adjusted and tweaked them over the years, leaving these files as a possible source of incompatibility and confusion.
DLL errors sometimes occur after uninstalling an old program or installing a new one. This can corrupt or fragment an old DLL, or bring in an incompatible new version. This is a source of much confusion and frustration, but it doesn’t have to be. Thankfully, there are applications available which can scan for these errors. They can also identify and fix most errors if they’re present, allowing your computer to run faster and more efficiently.
Uninstalling and installing programs is just one possible source of DLL confusion. In my next post, I’ll talk about the five most common DLL errors people encounter, and how to fix them when they occur.

The three most common registry errors include Obsolete Entries, Slow Registry Access, and Invalid File Extensions. On this post I’m going to talk about obsolete entries – what are they? How do they affect the PC’s performance? And finally – What can we do about it..?
Think of the registry as a filter where data about options and settings accumulates. Some of the data is essential. Others are entries which may not have been uninstalled with the programs that brought them into the system. When you uninstall programs and install new ones, entries in the registry do not get deleted and the presence of these old files slows down the performance of your PC.
A few of them can even be harmful, as they come in conflict with vital files that are necessary for the OS. This may cause the entire system to crash.
Even if your computer is new and there are not any visible errors, you still need to check and clean the registry. If you won’t maintain the cleanliness of your registry by running scans on a regular basis, errors will slowly but surely accumulate, making your computer run slower and can eventually cause your OS severe problems.
Registry cleaners are meant to help you maintain your PC’s health and stability by removing these unwanted files. A clean registry leads to a healthy system.

We get a lot of questions about windows registry.
What is it? What does it do? How can I fix it?..
Let’s begin with what is the registry -
“Registry” is a part of the Windows database which stores all the information related to Windows applications and the configuration settings supporting it in a hierarchical structure. It comprises of keys, sub-keys and values. Each key comprises of values which store the relevant information. The registry must be clean, optimized and error-free to maintain proper functioning of the system. Whenever you install, uninstall, change file-types associations etc. – more entries are added to the registry. Obsolete, outdated and corrupt entries, cause the computer to slow down.
What can I do then?
That’s an easy one! We’ve developped Registry Commander for that sole purpose.
Registry Commander (RC) scans, and removes those unwanted entries. Registry Commander’s algorithm scans through the registry and identifies invalid Registry entries, and fixes them. Before changes to the registry are done, RC creates a back-up of the registry in case you accidentally delete important data. Therefore, RC is the safest and the most secured way to optimize your registry, and improve your PC performance.
