tweaking.com all in one repair

I know this has been posted before, but I'm just learning some of what that tool can do, WOW. Really helped me out. Had a box that had a failing drive, did a sector by sector copy with Acronis, cloned to a new drive, repartitioned to see the bigger drive, have it do a disk check, things pretty smooth, clean things up, and notice no updates working, tried a few different workarounds, even some microsoft fix it tools, command prompt commands, etc, could not get things working there, system restores, etc etc. Finally decided to try the tweaking.com tool, and had it run a repair on Windows Update and a few other things, it knocked it out real easy. Very impressed. So now, I have a nice clean machine with all the user's data, larger not failing hard drive installed with their programs, and it seems to run well. They will probably be happy

Love this program. It is a staple in my tune up / virus removal process.

Yeah it's been a nice tool. I use it quite a bit. I've noticed even if there's not a specific issue I'm after, it still seems to speed up some systems especially older xp or vista machines.

I used it recently after cleaning a very badly infected pc and it did the job

I've been taking to running it on most cleanup/tuneups of late. If only to reset most things back to where they were intended to be.

One of the best!

Same here. Its not really possible to test everything out before the machine goes back to the customer. I run it at the end of any virus removal or cleanup. A must have in my tool kit.

If you don't have D7/D7II, you should have this.

New to me. Never heard of it.

I use it when needed. It does a good job, similar to D7. There is one error "MMC Class Not registered" Error that D7 doesn't seem to correct which the Tweaking.com tool seems to correct without issue.

I can simply say that if you don't have you need to try it. Definitely you need to. I didn't really use it until this week when I got into a jam and could not get the machine I was talking about to do updates, even after Microsoft fix its and does pro,pts I could not get that machine to do updates. I tried the tweaking.com tool out of frustration, and it knocked out what was happening in a few minutes. It will be staying as part of my kit. I will say I do not have d7, but this is a great little tool. I may have to make a small donation to their project because that seriously saved me, as that machine needed to be done for early the next day and I didn't really have time to mess with a full reinstall. The guy that created that deserves props.

Edit, apologize for grammar, plunking away on my wife's tablet lol.

Tweeking rocks. I use it all the time. Last use was yesterday for a system that got infected but McAfee managed to block some of it. But Explorer.exe would not run IE would not open any webpages, couldn't get to the control panel, some icons were missing (really just hidden but end user didn't know that.) This program can clear all of that in one pass and it walks you through several other steps that are essential for clearing up a pc. Must have tool that I use via the GeGeek toolbox.

Use it quite a bit myself too. Mostly after virus removals. If I notice anything at all not quite working as I expect (windows updates failing randomly and other such things) I just run it to be safe. Fixes a ton of stuff, resets a lot of settings back to usable defaults (particularly useful if infections change/remove things in the start menu), just a good tool all around. If it were an ebay store I'd rate it "A++++++ would do business with again!"

Doh, as is nearly always the case, it's in D7 and I missed it.

Thought you were joking when you said you didn't know what it is.
Where have you been, under a rock? LOL.

Hey. Living life under a rock has a lot going for it.

It took me ages to find a suitable rock in a decent area.

Getting stoned was a novel experience.

I started off life living under a pebble, but I hope to prosper and move up to a boulder.

I've heard there's a nice one in Colorado.

 

[sapikest]

there are so many steps and features to this! how exactly do you guys run this? with all steps and options?

 

[jft135]

I just discovered it not too long ago, and my biggest hurdle so far is sitting down and figuring out what in D7 is redundant if I'm also running this. I'm sure it will be easy enough, but I'm being lazy and haven't gotten around to it yet.

Be warned: On systems with iTunes I have noticed after running all the tools and rebooting, starting iTunes throws an error about the CD player. Can't remember the exact error from iTunes but you then have to go through a detailed list of how to completely remove iTunes from Apple's website and re-install it. It's been a few months since I've seen this so not sure if it's been fixed in the latest release.
