Most reg cleaning programs have a backup option,just incase anything goes wrong after the clean.
Check within the folders of the reg cleaners you use,to see if any backups have been created.If there are any backups,reinstall the earliest one.
If that fails then i would advise a reformat,rather than trying to correct the registry.

Bin the Easycleaner 1.7 and stick with Regcleaner.
