Microsoft Fix It automatically troubleshoot Windows problems

Microsoft is beta testing Fix-It Center, a tool which automatically detects and fixes several common computer problems that may affect your Windows based system. Fix-It Center also helps prevent new problems by proactively checking for known issues and installing updates. The tool is extremely user friendly and allows any average Joe to solve PC problems with ease.

The tool basically adds the automatic diagnostics system found in Windows 7 to older versions of Windows, and then takes it a step ahead by allowing for a three tiered troubleshooting system. If the solution isn't found in the local database, it goes online and searches for any updated information. If it still can't find a solution, it provides contact information for the relevant Microsoft support departments.

The software has onboard fixes for about 300 of the most widely encountered problems that stop Windows working as it should. These are broken down into 27 categories and encompasses most of the common issues troubling a user ranging from hardware issues to media player errors.

Microsoft Fix-It solutions has been available for a while as an online support site, and now Fix-It Center makes it readily available as an offline tool.

Fix-It Center works on Windows XP SP3, Windows 2003 and 2008 and Windows 7.

    @Anonymous: I usually copy-paste any words and names that occur multiple times during a post to save effort. So one error escalated to multiple errors.

    @thiruthiru: It's safe. Fix-It doesn't verify your activation key.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.
