Dial-a-fix is a portable program for repairing various Windows problems such as Windows Update errors and problems with Automatic Updates, SSL, HTTPS, and Cryptography Service Issues, COM/ActiveX object errors, missing registry entries and much more! It can be downloaded for free at Dial-a-Fix. Dial-a-fix is a collection of known fixes derived from Microsoft Knowledgebase articles, Microsoft MVPs, and other support forums. While this tool is primarily meant for power users, technicians, and administrators, it has proven quite safe to use without technical guidance (although guidance is recommended).

Supported Operating Systems: 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, XP, Server 2003 (32 bit). The available repair tool options will vary depending on which version of Windows is being used. Tools not applicable to your operating system will be disabled and greyed out. Dial-a-Fix is most functional when using Windows XP.
