I have 2 computers at home, Windows Vista on my laptop and Windows XP on my desktop. This desktop has been with me for almost five years now. Yeaa I know, it’s an old Pentium 4 2.26GHz with 768MB of RAM. I always try to keep my Windows Vista with minimum software installed, but not on my windows XP. On that desktop I installed everything from games, office applications and development applications for my websites.

Due to the number of applications installed on my desktop, sometimes it runs quite slow that I have to wait few minutes to let it do whatever process that it’s currently doing. And the worst time is when I have to deal with all kind of viruses, spyware and even adware. It’s kinda hard to keep up with all those anti virus and anti spyware or even adware removal tools out there as those culprits always evolve day after day. I often have to do a system restore once in a while to keep my system fast enough for me to do my daily jobs.

However, about three days ago I stumbled a website that provide a web-based service / maintenance / system service for Windows XP that can fix the problems and bring it back like a new smooth and “shiny” system. It’s Reimage Home Edition.

Video: How the technology works

As you can see from the illustration in the video above, the repair process is done automatically using an ActiveX control which you need to install and run with internet explorer. It analyzes and performs the repair process automagically giving you peace of mind when working with your Windows XP.

There are various things that can be fixed using this tool such as:

• Windows pop up message: “Task manager has been disabled by your administrator”
• Antivirus 2009/2008 wallpaper and IE hijack
• XP installation made years ago… Slow and tend to sporadically hang — just like mine
• Clicking on Internet Explorer icon creates shortcuts on the desktop instead of opening the browser
• STOP 0׳0000007B is prevents you from booting Windows in Safe Mode
• and much more! See here for more.

They also have a blog! Reimage blog is another good blog to see latest update of their PC repair tool. In that blog they provide a quite comprehensive post about the tool as well as comparisons with other automatic PC repair tools, anti viruses, anti spyware or even registry cleaner.

Have a try and let me know what you think!

Everyday, I always surf around the net to find new resources for my blog, Acakadut. Anything from freeware, online games, scholarships, hot news, freelance jobs, etc. You know, my blog is a blog about everything. I will post everything or anything that interest me and will benefit to all my daily readers.

I am basically a technical person and always love news related to technology, especially computer software and the internet. Today, I just stumbled upon a cool technology blog called Gadget Advisor.

Gadget Advisor is a resource for the best in gadget and tech news. Rather than presenting every bit of news from each day, Gadget Advisor focuses on the products and news that are the most significant, useful, and/or cool so that visitors can quickly view the top gadgets and tech news without wading through pages of mediocre news.

As from their about page, it’s very clear that they have a strict focus on gadget and technology news that they think significant & useful to their visitor. It’s clearly not just about plain standard tech news that you can find all over the net, but they tend to give you a thorough review on the news they deliver.

Take a look at below 3 posts for example:

• Best Extensions for Firefox
• Best Windows Software
• Blaze Media Pro review

As you can see from the 3 posts above, they give you a very thorough review on the subject. Looks like they have a solid standard for the quality of their posts. That post about best Firefox extentions is just awesome. I use Firefox myself, but I didn’t even know those extentions before.

Oh well, I guess it’s time for me to add Gadget Advisor into my bookmark, and off course I will subscribe to their feed to get the latest cool gadget and tech news from them.
