Hi! I have been using Incredimail for over 50 years.
You ask for help by starting out with a lie?
Recently I upgrade it. Short time after, went to Microsof to find some
answers......ofcouser I did not find them with out money,
Which you don't describe here so their mention is, so far, irrelevant.
but in between their sujestions I found an offer to download a
Register application. When I try Register,
The old RegClean utility was removed from public availability by
Microsoft something like over 6 years ago. The only other registry
cleaner (if that is what you actually meant by "Register") that I know
of from Microsoft is in their OneCare product which costs money.
See below why registry cleaners should NEVER be used by neophytes
(there are less kind terms for such uneducated users that go screwing
around in the registry without any knowledge of how the registry
works).
found 5,000 mistakes and try to correct 2 of them free. Then I cancel
the whole thing and uninstall the Register appliction.
Modifying even several hundred registry keys and their data values
takes only a couple seconds. Changing 2 of them would be faster than
any body function you could attempt to activate in that time. So you
could not have cancelled their changes before they got committed. You
may have perhaps undone them; i.e., revert back to their prior values.
However, since you never identified what is the registry cleaner that
you used, like providing a URL to the download, no one knows what you
actually used or what you actually did. It doesn't sound like you know
what you did, either.
When I try to use my e-mail (Incredimail) was blocked. A note shows
that a Regis.32dll is missing. Since then I could not use it no more.
I download Incredimail several times, I upgrade it to difrent vesions
without any luck. It does not work no more.
You could fall into Incredimal's trap (yep, I deliberately misspelled
its name) to buy their commercial version and hope that their paid
support is better than their non-existent free version support (other
than FAQs) but that hope would be in vain.
Regis.32dll is not a valid file name but Regis32.dll might be.
Micorosoft of course, as always, ask for money that I do not have to
fix it.
Consumers decided that they didn't want to pay for support up front.
They saw it as an unnecessary insurance cost. With the retail version,
you probably get 2 free tech support calls. Already used those up? In
the OEM version, you NEVER did pay for support from Microsoft and you
will have to go to whomever installed the OEM version for you (they had
to do the install to be liable for support; you buying the OEM version
means you are the installer and the one to provide the OEM support).
Can some one of you give me a tip how to fix it?
You won't like my answer below which is to completely get rid of
Incredimal. Only boobs and spammers use that product to fluff their
emails with bloat from poor HTML coding along with bloating the content
of their e-mails (i.e., not much to say to add fluff to it to make it
look bigger).
Thank you. (e-mail address removed).

Why the uneducated should never use registry cleaners
Do you have a backup & restore plan in place? When (and not if) the
registry cleaner corrupts your registry and when you can no longer boot
into Windows, just how are you going to restore that OS partition so it
is usable again? Even if you use a registry cleaner that provides for
backups of its changes so you can revert back to the prior state, how
are you going to perform that restore if you cannot boot the OS after
hosing over its registry? What about entries in the registry that look
to be orphaned under the current OS load instance but are used under a
different OS environment? You delete what looks orphaned only to find
out that they are required under a different environment.
Say there was an unusually high amount of orphaned entries in your
registry, like 4MB. By deleting the orphaned entries, you would speed
up how long it takes Windows to load the registry's files when it
starts up - by all of maybe 1 second. Oooh, aaah. All that risk of
modifying the registry to save maybe a second, or less, during the
Windows startup. Most folks that clean the registry end up deleting
only 10KB, or less. They are doing nothing to improve their Windows
load time. Since the registry is only read from the memory copy of it,
and since memory is random access, there is no difference to read one
byte of the registry (in memory) from the another byte in the registry
(also in memory). The extra data in memory for orphaned entries has no
effect on the time to retrieve items from the memory copy of the
registry.
Cleaning the registry will NOT improve performance in reading from the
memory copy of the registry. The reduced size of the registry's .dat
files might reduce the load time of Windows by all of a second and
probably much less. And you want to risk the stability of your OS for
inconsequential changes to its registry? The same boobs that get
suckered into these registry cleanup "tools" are the same ones that get
suckered into the memory defragment "tools".
A registry cleaner should only be used if you yourself can correctly
cleanup the registry. The cleaner is just a tool to automate the same
process but you should know every change that it intends to make and
understand each of those changes. After all, and regardless of the
stagnant expertise coded into the utility, *YOU* are the final
authority in what registry changes are performed whether you do it
manually or with a utility. If YOU do not understand the proposed
change (which requires the product actually divulge the proposed change
before committing that change), how will you know whether or not to
allow that change?

Incredimail - The choice of immature, irresponsible, and ignorant
e-mail users
Incredimail is the choice of immature e-mail users, those that need to
hide the fact that they have little substance in the content of their
message and need to fluff it up with extraneous style and extra
garbage. Or maybe you are a marketer or spammer and that's why you
need to bloat your messages: little to say so use something to enlarge
it. Sure, yeah, your recipients want e-mails that are ten times larger
than necessary and bloated with fluff backgrounds, music, gifs, and
other non-essential crap. A simple 2KB message will bloat up to 55KB,
or worse. Are you trying to irritate your recipients that still use
dial-up by making them wait longer to receive your bloated mails?
You'll find anything you have in Incredimail, like contacts, will be
hard or impossible to get out once you decide to leave it.
Use a good e-mail program. Incredimail isn't one of them. If you
decide to continue using it, expect some of your recipients to block
that crap-ridden mail or even have it tagged as spam if you send many
mails to the same domain, especially for short messages since the fluff
crap will constitute most of the message and be seen as the major
content of all those repetitive e-mails. Also, you may find your
recipients don't appreciate getting childish content. The HTML coding
it employs is awful, and it is highly likely that most if not all of
your e-mails don't even require being sent as HTML messages (which, at
a minimum, doubles the size of your mails to provide an HTML copy and a
plain-text copy assuming that Incredimail follows the RFC standards
which wouldn't be a surprise if they don't).
Be a responsible and considerate email sender. Don't use Incredimail
which emphasizes style over content; i.e., you waste the recipient's
time, bandwidth, and disk space with fluff. Once you decide it is
crap, you'll be back asking how to uninstall it. ISPs or e-mail
providers will support only one or few e-mail clients (to minimize the
training or expertise required by their techs since the operation of
the e-mail client is not their concern but only in the settings needed
for it to use their e-mail service). Don't expect any to help you with
Incredimail. From what I read, don't even expect Incredimail to help
you with Incredimail. Did you even see a FAQ or help page at their web
site? Well, there is a very, VERY minimal help page but no link to it
from their main page (go hunting on their other web pages and look at
the bottom for a list of links).
When I send e-mail, I expect only my mail server to get it and deliver
it to the recipient. However, with Incredimail, it also connects to
them to send information about your use of Incredimail. Read
http://email.about.com/cs/incredimailtips/qt/et063003.htm. Doesn't
anyone bother to read their, um, "policies"
(
http://www.incredimail.com/english/privacy.asp)? They announce that
they will collect info regarding your e-mails. Oh no, they're not
spyware but they DO collect info on your e-mails. Sure, they don't
spy, uh huh - but they DO spy. An e-mail client should only be
connecting to the user's mail server, not to Incredimail's server, too.
They would like to redefine the term "spyware" to not include
themself. People got enraged with Gmail doing that to provide targeted
marketing. No email program should track your email (date & time, how
many times you use their program, which pictures you used) and store
this marketing data on a server located in a foreign country - but
Incredimail does. They admit that they collect info about your sent
e-mails which means a data collection and transmission mechanism is
already incorporated into their e-mail client. With that link between
your computer and their server, they can collect any information you
enter into their email program, including the contents of your mails,
mail servers, and even passwords. They *promise* not to interrogate
the contents of your e-mails but the mechanism is already there to send
them whatever they want, and they already openly admit to spying on
you. The data is stored on their servers in Israel. Do you know the
privacy laws there? Have you ever dealt with Israeli companies?
From their site, "IncrediMail relies on two platforms to make an
income; 1) the sale of its software products and 2) advertisement via
the Status Window in the application and on the Web site." So either
you buy it from them or you choose to use their adware (ads in their
Status window). Not only do they spew ads in your face but they also
append their "promotional" spam signature at the end of every one of
your outbound e-mails. Free accounts at Yahoo and Hotmail do that,
too, and why I will receive from their service but I will NOT send
through it. Instead use your own ISP's SMTP server to send your
outbound mails. However, if you use the free Incredimail client, you
spew spam in every one of your outbound mails. Do you think your
recipients really appreciate getting Incredimail's ugly advertisement
at the end of your mails? You think your e-mails look professional
with someone's spam tacked onto the end of it (in addition to all the
fluff they add to bloat the size of your e-mails)? Are you devoted to
producing amateurish e-mails?
So here is crapware that severely bloats the size of mails, used by
children and spammers to hide that there is little content in their
mails, spies on your mails, and spews ads in your face (unless you buy
it although other *good* e-mail clients are free). Sometimes it is
difficult to believe that so many adults are so gullible and also such
irresponsible e-mailers.
