    "Hasn't even been updated to work with Vista!"

    December 31, 2012  |   By julzgaye

    Version: Dial-a-fix 0.60.0.24

    Pros

    It's gotten good reviews in the past.

    Cons

    Don't know any, as it cannot be used with my Windows 7 system.

    Summary

    The fact that it has not been updated since before Vista was released should be plainly included in every ad pertaining to it so that it can be known prior to the download!

    "Can not recommend at this time"

    March 3, 2010  |   By si

    Version: Dial-a-fix 0.60.0.24

    Pros

    Seems like a nice little program, if it would be updated...

    Cons

    I can't use it because it didn't recognize IE8 files.

    Summary

    It did not recognize any IE8 files, then froze when unregistering es.dll; it wiped my desktop completely off (nothing left but the mouse), killed IE8 altogether and I had to start up in Last Known Good Configuration to get back to a working computer. I can not recommend it in this version - it desperately needs updating.

    "Dial-a-fix is an amazing software."

    January 16, 2010  |   By stevesd619

    Version: Dial-a-fix 0.60.0.24

    Pros

    Everything

    Cons

    A person needs to read a tutorial on how to use it and become well acquainted with its features.

    Summary



    Updated on Jan 16, 2010

    Dial-a-fix is extremely powerful. Please become well read on how and when to use the various functions.

    "Does not work so well with IE8"

    November 30, 2009  |   By fjord_fox

    Version: Dial-a-fix 0.60.0.24

    Pros

    Works great with IE7. Everything functions well and it does what it is supposed to do.

    Cons

    Does not work well with IE8. Once you begin this program, after installing Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) it constantly tells you that it doesn't recognize the version of the files that are installed on your computer.

    Summary

    For this program to be worthwhile, they ae in serious need of an update. IE8 has been around for quite awhile and you would think that by now, they would have that update! I am rating it as only good (3 stars) but once they make that update, I would give it 5 stars.

    "Very good tool for a damaged OS"

    November 24, 2009  |   By Randy Bell

    Version: Dial-a-fix 0.60.0.24

    Pros

    Like the previous reviewers have said, this is a very good repair tool for damaged O.S. recovered from a crash, or a system recovered from malware.

    Cons

    Nothing much to say, the only 'glitch' is that it currently does not recognize IE8, but that only results in a harmless warning "cannot recognize current browser"; yet the program will still work.

    Summary

    Basically this little tool automates tasks which would take much longer if done manually. And tasks which would take an individual user much longer to research on MS WebSite and discover the relevant Knowledge Base articles etc. in order to do everything that dial-a-fix does. Things like resetting Windows Update (WU), or flushing the Software Distribution folder, fixing Windows Installer, fixing the Cryptographic Services, etc. It is invaluable and I cannot understand how any knowledgable person could say this is "worthlessware" or make such insensitive and uninformed comment like that .. but each to his own, we all entitled to our opinion(s) I guess ..

    "Works and Free!"

    October 18, 2009  |   By kncywells

    Version: Dial-a-fix 0.60.0.24

    Pros

    The program did exactly what it advertised. A online serviced wanted to charge me $299 to address the problem.

    Cons

    There are no cons.

    Summary

    If you are having trouble with MS Windows Update or Windows Installer try this program...it really did work for me.

    Cons

    Wastse of disk space.

    Summary

    Worthlessware.
