Over recent years, Reimage has been aiding Windows owners who require a one-stop pc fix solution for their software, registry and operating system, but do not wish to incur expensive repair technician costs or be without their laptop/desktop for any prolonged period of time. I started using Reimage 16 months ago on 2 desktops and a work laptop all running XP and they have all remained stable, fast, virus-free computers as a direct result of using Reimage.
What is the idea behind Reimage?
Reimage is a PC maintenance software service available over the internet that can make your Windows XP machine run like new, without needing to reinstall Windows XP and without loss of personal data.
It checks the health of your system files in a 30 minute scan, diagnoses operating system (OS) problems, and replaces objects detected as faulty or missing on the PC using a spare parts repository of 25 million files. After viewing the scan results, a 30 minute online pc repair process can be run to fix all the faults. It finishes up by rebooting the PC for the repairs to take effect.
Files can become faulty or go missing over time due to application installations, virus damage, faulty drivers, broken registry key entries or just not being kept up to date with the latest file versions. Reimage can do the pc troubleshooting and then repair all of these faults.
How has Reimage performed in the field?
I’ve used Reimage since September 2008 on three different PCs. In this time, I have run a full scan on a quarterly basis against each of the machines (a desktop PC for music production, a work laptop used for work and a media centre desktop PC). The initial scan takes 30 minutes and is completely automated and I am happy to report that it has performed excellently every time.
The initial pc troubleshooting scan highlighted a lot of damaged system files which it was able to repair using the online repository of healthy files. I allotted these faults to installation/removal of dozens of applications and hardware upgrades I’ve made to the PCs over their lifespan. The native O/S drivers were also highlighted as out-of-date.
After Reimage repaired all files identified as missing or needing replacement and the system reboot I noted faster boot up times, improved application stability and better internet connection performance (probably due to the device driver upgrades).
One major benefit of using Reimage is that no personal data regarding login details/settings in applications/etc. were lost following repairs. This was a key point in running this on my work laptop which I use daily so needed to turnaround repairs in a single evening. It only needed 45 minutes as it turned out and repaired Windows XP without needing to re-format the drives, while leaving all user data and software intact!
