You went to the wrong web address. A couple of us now have given you
the web address to go to, and that's not where you went. memtest86 dot
org is NOT a valid site....it is a placeholder page full of advertising.
You clicked on a download link for a snake-oil "registry cleaner".
Uninstall that junk immediately.
Go to http://www.memtest.org/#downiso as we already explained. If you
want to make a bootable CD, download the Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO
(.zip) file to your hard drive, then unzip the ISO and use an ISO image
burning application to make a bootable CD from the ISO file. If you
don't know how to do that, seek assistance from someone local who does.
If you have a floppy drive and want to make a bootable floppy instead,
download the Pre-Compiled package for Floppy (DOS - Win), and save the
..zip file to your hard drive. Unzip all the contents of the .zip to a
folder on your hard drive, insert a blank floppy disk in your floppy
drive, and double-click the "install.bat" file in the folder where you
unzipped. Follow the instructions on-screen to make the floppy and boot
from it. If you don't know how to do that, seek assistance from someone
local who does.

My second procedure described using their program to make a bootable
floppy disk. An internal floppy drive will be either drive A: or B:.
