Microsoft launches beta Windows ‘Fix It’ site

Mary Jo Foley is reporting that Microsoft quietly launched this week a beta of a new Web site and service designed to help users diagnose and troubleshoot problems with their Windows PCs and servers.

Fix It Center and the accompanying Fix It Online service is a new self-help diagnostic tool from Microsoft Support.

The pair are meant to help users running Windows XP (with Service Pack 3 and the SP2 version of 64-bit XP Pro); Windows Vista; Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

The beta includes a software client that is installed on as many PCs as a user wants.

Here’s how Microsoft’s Web site describes Fix It Center:

“Fix it Center finds and fixes many common PC and device problems automatically.

It also helps prevent new problems by proactively checking for known issues and installing updates. Fix it Center helps to consolidate the many steps of diagnosing and repairing a problem into an automated tool that does the work for you.”
