Microsoft Windows Vista Repairs

Microsoft Windows Vista includes various self-repairing tools.

The Microsoft Windows Vista operating system comes equipped with a set of repair and diagnostic tools that you can use if your computer is not operating correctly. It includes the startup repair tool, the system file checker tool, the system restore tool and various other tools to restore the operation system configuration to an earlier point in time.

Startup Repair Tool

The startup repair tool is an automated repair that scans your Vista installation and automatically fixes any problems. If you would rather utilize other Windows Vista repair tools, the automated process can be cancelled at any time.

System File Checker Tool

The system file checker tool determines whether the problem your operating system is experiencing is caused by one or more Windows Vista files. The tool identifies the incorrect versions of system files and replaces them with the correct versions.

System Restore Tool

If the startup repair tool and system file checker tool are unable to fix your problem, the system restore tool can be used to fix the problem. The system restore tool uses restore points to return system settings and files to an earlier configuration, when you were not experiencing the problem. Note that this tool tends to remove any programs and updates that have been installed. To use this tool, you must have had system restore enabled in Vista.
