Fixing Windows with Windows Repair

When Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 or 7 having problems, sometimes not easy to fix. Both these problems arise due to viruses (malware), conflicts or for other applications. But now there are small applications, free and portable that can be used to resolve the issue, which called Windows Repair (All is One).

Previously I've also discussed about free software portable & tweaking.com: Simple Performance Boost, to improve Computer's performance (speed). Now I'll discuss some other useful software for repairing damage on windows, namely Tweaking.com Windows Repair (All in One).

Tweaking.com Windows Repair software is designed to overcome various problems in Windows, either Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7. Provided 4-step explanations and recommendations before we perform a repair (repair windows). Here's how to Using Tweaking.com - Windows Repair:

When you first run the program you will be introduced to 4 steps before the repair options. These steps are highly recommend to do before attempting any repairs.

Step 1. Clean Your System Of Infections

Trying to fix a system that is currently infected is obviously a very bad idea and can make things worse. An infection can hijack a machine and keep part of the repairs from running correctly. Since only part of a repair will work the other part that failed could end up causing problems. Rule of thumb before working on a system is to make sure it is clean. Even if you think your system is clean doing a scan before hand is a good idea.

Step 2. Check File System

Doing a check disk on the hard drive is a good idea. This will have Windows check the file system on the drive fixing any problem it finds. Corrupt files can break a lot of things, including the repairs. So making sure the file system is good is a must.

Step 3. System File Check (SFC)

The built in Windows system file checker is a tool that checks that the Windows files are intact, the correct versions and not corrupted. This is a good idea to do before doing repairs as if a file is corrupt and we try a repair that needs that file then the repair will fail.

Step 4. System Restore

Doing a system restore point is a great idea to do before doing any repairs. If any unforeseen problems happen after any repair than a system restore can put the system back to the way it was before the repairs. This is highly recommended.

Step 5. Start Repairs
In this final step you can choose between 3 modes.

• Basic Mode: This will run only the most basic, safe repair options. Extra advanced repairs are disabled. 
• Advanced Mode: Runs more advanced repairs while leaving a few disabled. 
• Custom Mode: Every repair is available. The program will remember your repair choices the next time you choose custom mode.
