User ability

Vista Home Premium SP2, 32 bit
In my initial registry scan with trial version of Reg Organizer there were nearly 1600 problems found.
The biggest share were system-wide application settings (893), followed by application data (184), user-wide application settings (173), file-type associations (61), installed programs (15), MUI cache problems (15), application paths (1).
I'm just a home user and I live 100 miles from the nearest computer shop so I'm not anxious to make my machine unusable.
Would a person DARE to just go ahead and select FIX to all these problems?
I haven't bought the program yet because I'm not sure I would be able to use it.
I think there are a lot of little things with my computer that are causing problems. I've still got plenty of HD space, I have 4 GB RAM. I have tried to keep my startup programs pared down.
Everything is slow to open, whether it be programs or browser or just folders. There are little glitches, like, I haven't had "Run as administrator" available in my right-click context menu for ages. I don't know what happened to it. If I have to run something as admin I have to pin it to the start menu and then I get the RAA option by right clicking.
I'm sure it isn't a virus because I have always maintained good protection, keep things up to date and run regular scans. Right now I have the paid version of Malwarebytes and the paid version of Emsisoft. I am using Windows firewall.
I'd appreciate some help and advice and thank you in advance.
