<B>Microsoft is rolling out its “Fix It” software to Windows users.
The “Fix It” Software package brings together a series of automatic troubleshooters as well as personalized solutions based on the system’s hardware and software configuration.
The download is compatible with:

• Windows XP SP3
• Windows XP Pro (64-bit) SP2
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
• Windows Server 2003 SP2
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Server 2008 R2

The tool incorporates some 300 fixes for the most common ailments affecting Windows users.

The “Fix It” service is currently in beta.

It’s free, and could save you the time and hassle of having to make a support call. So what are you waiting for!

[UPDATE: Post updated to clarify Windows 7 support.]

A couple of days ago, I installed it on XP Pro to see how it would do, and it ran good. There was a similar program like this a year or so ago, I just don't remember who published it. However, your article is great, and I recommend it to others, too.

Catilley,
yes I thought that you would have seen it on 19th april,I was not able to read my newsletters until today.It works with RTM x64bit also testing it on a toshiba L500 with Professional x64bit,it seems to find more than the local troubleshooter we have in our O\S.Goodluck and as I said it does help in many or all errors especially the windows update error.

thanks catilley

Thats very handy to know, thanks Jeffreyobrien

I posted about this several days ago in the NEWS section. I'm sure Cat remembers.

Microsoft adds repair shop to Windows

It's all good... at least the word is out! LOL

I tried a couple of the fixes and they seemed to work well (better than the bundled which doesn't work at all).

I'm glad M$ decided to actually do something to help legal users as well as spending their time and resources chasing pirates.

That was where I got my download link from, not in a newsletter. I have it on XP Pro to evaluate it first, then I'll place it on here. I almost always tryout new software out on my laptop first.

That's cool. I always try out new software on my girlfriend! Wait... that's hardware!

How very true, roban! Spending money to help us and keep us happy and going, spreads the word about Microsoft, and may convert a few pirates into legal users. Unfortunately, there will always be pirates, some wont pay, no matter what. But your statement strikes the nail on the head, us paying users needs all of the support that we can get. This was actually not the first launch of this program, I've seen it before, makes me wonder what happened to the original version of it.

I've installed it but of the 5 'tools' it wanted to install none covered any issues I had trouble with.
