The graphs on the left (see chart "Windows Reliability") show the results of field experience supporting Windows PCs. These results are an average of a wide variety of PCs and situations. You are more likely to achieve and even surpass these average numbers and enjoy the greatest possible Windows dependability if you follow simple common sense best-practices. For example, use the current version of Windows XP (that is, get Service Pack 2, a free upgrade from Microsoft) and use WinFix. See below for more advice on best-practices.

By installing WinFix, a user of Windows XP can expect an improvement in freedom from serious problems, from 98% reliability to 99% reliability. This may seem like a small improvement, but it's really very big, because your chances of having a serious problem drop from 1 in 50, to 1 in 100. This is an impressive 100% boost in Windows reliability.

This large quantitative improvement makes a qualitative difference, especially in an area as vital as protecting your productivity and creativity. It's very empowering to have the great capabilities of a current Windows PC, available in a more dependable, uninterrupted way. This is the essence of WinFix's contribution to more rewarding Windows PC computing.

ZDNet's review called WinFix a Godsend, a feeling shared by users who've been rescued by WinFix. For examples of their thank-you letters, click here. WinFix is also recommended by major magazines, and tech support at leading vendors. You can trust WinFix to get you out of trouble most of the time if something goes wrong with Windows.

It's very empowering to have a truly reliable Windows PC, and WinFix takes your PC a big step closer to being as dependable as other appliances.

You've invested time and effort setting up Windows the way you want it, but your Windows setup can be damaged or lost because of power failures, viruses, software problems, system crashes, user error, and disk crashes.

WinFix boosts Windows reliability by making it fault-tolerant and self-repairing. And for NASA-style reliability, WinFix is itself fault-tolerant and self-repairing, making it the most robust and dependable program of its kind.

With WinFix installed, you'll have fewer and less serious problems, and you can quickly restore a working Windows setup if necessary. This eliminates aggravation and cuts your total cost of PC ownership. WinFix keeps you working, by keeping your PC working non-stop.

WinFix saves time, energy and money in two ways. As preventive maintenance, it pays for itself in problems avoided. As an insurance policy or air bag, WinFix more than pays for itself the first time you need it.

WinFix is also very safe. It doesn't do anything that can destabilize Windows. For example only WinFix doesn't modify any Windows system files, nor install any background programs. In fact, WinFix adds no complexity to Windows, makes no changes to Windows, and works outside Windows as much as possible. All this makes WinFix uniquely safe and effective.

And only WinFix specializes exclusively in what's most important: boosting Windows reliability to keep you working uninterrupted. The old top brands have many non-essential features, because of their long-running features war and lack of specialization in what's most important. That hurts safety and effectiveness in two ways:

	The non-essential features add significant complexity to Windows, and therefore risk and potential instability.
	The limited opportunities and resources for fixing problems are not concentrated completely on what's most important.

WinFix takes the opposite approach, with a minimalist design. Its design simplicity, low impact on your pc, and low resource use give you the same kind of simple, rugged, practical dependability that you need in a life jacket or fire extinguisher.

So don't gamble with your productivity. Let WinFix's helpful wizards, agents, expert systems, and totally focused approach, protect and enhance your productivity.

WinFix's engineering design is very sophisticated, but installing and using WinFix is very easy. With WinFix it's always obvious and self-evident what is happening and what to do next. Wizards ask you a few simple questions, and guide you through every step. Agents do all the work for you.

WinFix works at the lowest level possible, as close as possible to the hardware/VGA level. In Windows XP or 2000 it uses the minimum possible graphical display. In older versions of Windows, WinFix looks like the VGA text you see when your computer boots up (see the WinFix screen shot on the left). This gives WinFix two advantages over competing programs: greater independence from Windows; and less complexity in WinFix's design. This increases its ability to protect and fix Windows.

WinFix's independence from Windows also means it doesn't conflict with any other software.

WinFix gives you strong, reliable protection and repair, even in difficult situations.


	Adds no complexity to Windows, so unlike all competitors, WinFix has zero potential to destabilize Windows. For example, WinFix doesn't modify any Windows system files, nor does it add drivers, vxd's, tsr's, nor any other background programs, that can potentially destabilize Windows.
	WinFix has nothing to configure, and no learning curve to operate it. This simplicity adds to WinFix's effectiveness, because like a fire extinguisher, anyone from beginner to power user is able to quickly use it, even in stressful situations like losing your Windows setup.
	Uses two wizard/agent pairs, based around a multiple expert system design: the ProtectionWizard™/ProtectionAgent™ and RepairWizard™/RepairAgent™.

A truly reliable Windows PC is a big enhancement to mental power and mental productivity, from creativity to getting a lot done.
