Microsoft launch Fix-It Center to solve computer faults

Anyone with a Microsoft computer will know the huge frustration felt when faced with an error message or a frozen screen.

But those days could soon be over after the software giant released new 'Fix It' software, which is designed to be your own personal computer technician.

Microsoft said the new software is designed to fix early glitches before they develop into faults that crash your computer

A beta or test version of the software promises 'tools that help solve the issues you have now and prevent new ones.'

Once uploaded, the free program should automatically scan your computer and diagnose and common faults. It will then ask if you want it to be repaired.

It has fixes for around 300 of the most commonly encountered problems that stop Windows from working properly. The vast database of faults was created by automatic reports sent back by Windows computers that experienced crashes, bugs and so on.

It is primarily intended for Windows XP and Vista users.

If the 'Fix It' program cannot solve the problem it provides detailed information that can be sent to Microsoft's support staff about what has gone wrong.

The free software can be downloaded from Microsoft fix-it center support pages. - www.dailymail.co.uk

Protect your computer from the Conficker worm

The Conficker worm infects mostly windows machines (2000pro, xp, vista) what it does is it paralyse computer machines from recieving security or antivirus updates, if some how you think you have not updated your machine please do so now, before your machine will be infected by this worm, the creators of the worm have come up with a smart way of exploiting systems using a bot program that will run on April the 1st, this will tell whether your computer is infected with the worm or not.

Things to do to protect your computer from this nasty worm?

Make sure you have the latest microsft patches or hotfixes for your windows operating systems, if not do a manual windows update or a automatic update through your windows control panel settings, And also make sure you have the latest antivirus software which is fully up to date and ready on guard, when startup.

The Conficker worm can also disable important services on your computer.

In the screenshot of the Autoplay dialog box below, the option Open folder to view files — Publisher not specified was added by the worm. The highlighted option — Open folder to view files — using Windows Explorer is the option that Windows provides and the option you should use.

Ballmer Announces Windows 7 Public Beta, Live Essentials

by Chloe Albanesius

LAS VEGAS – Microsoft on Wednesday released the beta version of Windows 7 to developers, and will make it publicly available on Friday, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said during a keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show.

"I encourage you all to get out and download it," Ballmer said.

The software giant also highlighted two additions to its Halo gaming lineup, including a strategy game that will be available next month.

Meanwhile, Ballmer announced the worldwide availability of Windows Live Essentials, a partnership with Facebook that will link Facebook activity with Windows Live, and a deal with Dell to pre-install Windows Live on all consumer and small business PCs.

"We're on track to deliver the best version of Windows ever," Ballmer said of Windows 7. "We're putting in all the rich ingredients – simplicity and speed – and working hard to get it right and get it ready."

Read Michael Miller's take on Ballmer's keynote.

Ballmer touted the new operating system's faster boot speed, longer battery life, enhanced entertainment experience, and ability to help connect users with a variety of devices and platforms.

Convergence between platforms – in particular the PC, phone, and PC – was a main theme of Ballmer's speech. "Today, much of the stuff we all care about sits in silos" across various platforms, but "increasingly, those barriers are going away and the Internet cloud is connecting all of your devices together seamlessly."

"I believe Windows will remain at the center of peoples' technological solar system," Ballmer said. "It will work across all three screens seamlessly, accept natural import and tie all your info together through the cloud."

That cloud will naturally include Windows Live Essentials, the desktop application side of Windows Live, he said.

Microsoft released a final "refresh" of the Windows Live Essentials beta in mid-December, and that is now available worldwide, including messenger, e-mail, and photo gallery.

"It's final, it's free, and it works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and the new Windows 7 beta," Ballmer said.

note:

The minimum hardware requirements for Windows 7 are 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM (Memory), 16 GB hard drive space, DVD Rom drive and a Video Card that supports DirectX 9 with 128 MB video memory.
