To ensure proper registry key cleaning, it is recommended to restart your computer after any program installation or uninstallation and any computer driver related changes. This is important because Windows will do some registry cleaning of its own when the computer restarts. Once the system has been restarted, it is safe to proceed with cleaning the registry as well as removing unneeded files; however, be sure to back up the registry when asked in the event it needs to be restored. | To ensure proper registry key cleaning, it is recommended to restart your computer after any program installation or uninstallation and any computer driver related changes.

At this point it is also a good idea to do a thorough cleaning of old files and remove them from the system as well. Backup pictures to an external device, delete any personal files no longer needed, delete any old log files and downloaded software installers and so on. Get the hard drives as clean as possible before continuing. | At this point it is also a good idea to do a thorough cleaning of old files and remove them from the system as well.

This INI setting ''MUST'' be set to the default value of 5. For those who use a value of 7 and above, be warned that these higher values are 100% inherently unstable. It may be stable as a rock for some setups; however, please don't test mods with anything but the default value of 5. The chances that a new mod may cause stability issues with higher uGrids values is very high, and again, most Skyrim players will be using the default value for uGrids. To easily switch between uGrids values, create the relevant personal profile and custom INI files, as mentioned in the section above. | This INI setting ''MUST'' be set to the default value of 5.
