1. Navigate to one of the software-download sites listed in the resources. All of these provide software programs that can be used for fun, productivity and system maintenance. Many, but not all, of the programs are free.
2. Scroll through the available registry utilities, making sure the site lists only free programs (freeware) or that the program has 'freeware' listed in its properties or description.

3. Read through the reviews and product description of the registry utility to ensure the program does what is needed for the registry errors occurring. Reviews are helpful because they let other users know how well the program works and if it works as advertised.
4. Select a free registry utility to download. Install the program. Attempt to fix the registry errors, following the program's instructions.
