    Microsoft Fix It (should be a lower-case ‘i’) is a beta that is new to me. As repair tools go, the price is right (free), and if it becomes as successful as MS Security Essentials it will be welcome indeed.

    Mind you, it didn’t cure my problem, but it’s only a beta and if anyone is having luck with it we’d be interested to hear about it.

      This seems to be one minor tool to keep in your fix arsenal. It does fix some problems, but not many others. My thoughts are that it does not take much space, may work, so why not try it if you have something unexpected happen.

        It appears that a commercial product, Reimage Repair, has the same idea, although who had it first I don’t know. At seventy bucks it seems expensive, but if it actually fixed a significant problem I can see the point of it (says he after days of troubleshooting). If Microsoft gets their version out of beta (you can’t get into the beta program for Win 7 any longer) then it could be of interest given that it might be free.

          Just use it to “fix’ my mess with Windows media player…..
          I messed it up playing around and not knowing what I was doing…..
          I ran the ‘fix’ and Bingo….All it well…..

          Just reporting my experience with “Fix it”….

      FYI: The Beta is CLOSED for Windows 7 users! Still open for XP.

      May the Forces of good computing be with you!
