Registry Cleaners - Free Registry Repair Software

i see you are saying to never run a registry cleaner. i have an issue with
my laptop in which it will download microsoft updates but give an error on
why it cant install them. followed everything that can be done to load it
and was told it is a toshiba computer problem. i talked with toshiba and
they say that it is a registry glitch. of course i did try to run a registry
cleaner and it didnt fix the problem that i still have which is that this
laptop can not install any updates. i am at my whits end and now am paranoid
since i just got done running the registry cleaner (not that it worked)
