This is probably more suited to the Windows board.
Here's my 2c anyway, which I hope I'm not banned for
If your PC boots and everything works fine, then personally I'd ignore any warnings of "registry corruption", when your registry is truly corrupted, you won't need a popup box to tell you about it... the BSOD at every boot is usually warning enough. :eek:
There can be 'errors' in the registry without any obvious outward signs, but usually they're minor to the point of insignificance and cause no ill effect.
The phrase "registry corruption" seems to me like an alarmist sales buzzword... and I've seen it used a lot in that context.
The only thing I'd look at here is the source of this message... I've had web advertisements tell me about all kinds of things that need fixing on my PC (which they would have no possible way of knowing one way or the other), and conveniently enough have a commercial software solution that will remedy it... these often (pathetically try to) imitate real Windows dialogs.
So yeah, what I'd be more worried about is what's spawning these pop-ups... rather than the content there of.
A screenshot might help track this down... to identify it as a web-based popup or something like a javascript or messenger-service dialog.0 -
