Product Review (and Plug)

First, I want you all to know I am an affiliate for the product I am going to talk about.

Okay, now that is out of the way...

XP Repair Pro is an excellent and fast product.

I know this, because I had to use it before to recover a crashing system.

The BSOD (blue screen of death) kept on coming up, and I had scanned, defragged, ran anti-virus, anti-spyware tools.

I had done F8 during startup and went into safe mode and disabled as many devices and drivers as I could...I even disabled some stuff in the BIOS.

Still BSOD...

I then did a step-by-step load from the recovery console, and this seemed to help.

The computer ran okay for a few days, and then bam...BSOD.

Okay, now it is time to get serious...I pull out the Ultimate Boot Disk and test the memory with Memtest and test the hard drive. All is good.

Desperate to fix the problem, I search the web and stumble across XP Repair Pro.

What the heck...?

I download it, keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't some kind of malware/spyware...

I run it.

It identifies lots of things, which I have to fix manually, because I only have the demo version.

I fix the problems with broken registry links, broken GUIDs and sketchy device drivers.

No BSOD for several months.

Now XP Repair Pro is not a panacea, but it is darn good in my opinion. It would have been worth the price of a full license to not to have wasted 10 hours trying to fix an obscure problem.

*** Note: I wasn't in front of the computer for 10 hours...you can start scans with the various tools and go do something else.

Okay...if you have a problem, download the demo here.

There is nothing to lose, and you might just save 9.5 hours.
