What is Mr. Fixit?

Whatever it is, it does not work.

Because many people are uncomfortable with following unknown directions on the inner workings of Windows, especially when these guidelines involve not to modify the Windows registry, Microsoft has developed a number of solutions for common problems.  Microsoft calls these solutions 'Fix it' (not ' Mr Fixit') and all the links are grouped in the Microsoft Fix it Solution Center.

So when you complain that "Mr. Fixit" does not work, no one knows what your problem may be because you have not identified who the correct solution you have tried, where you found the link to him (often in a Microsoft Knowledgebase atticle), or what you were trying to fix.

Although the fix it solutions work for common problems, they do not work for all possible situations.  If you found a solution it in an article in the knowledge base, you may be able to understand things using the part "Let do me it myself" article.  If this isn't the case, you will have to describe what your problem is and don't forget to report any error completely, without paraphrasing.

You also need to identify which version of Windows you have, including service pack and if hardware devices are affected by the problem, make sure to include the make and model of devices and how they are connected to your computer.

  • What is "quick fix engineering"?

    Dear Sir.
    in the "driverupdate" info I can find drivers "quick fix engineering": what they mean and does it download them? I use Tecra M2 XP pro SP2 and have automatic windows update
    Greetings
    Reg weekx

    Hi, Renaud,.

    Hope you are well. The Quick Fix Engineering elements are actually patches from Microsoft. They are the same ones that you will receive the installation of Windows Update.

    If you have automatic updates configured then you will not need to download them from the Toshiba site.

  • MacBook Pro 2008 does not start. WHY? (Fix included)

    I have an old soldier, a Macbook Pro in early 2008. Like many others with MacBook as old as mine, I had the problem of my Mac, no start, showing only a black screen when I lit. He came to the point that I roll the die, each time that I chose to shut down the computer, I was wondering if it would ever start again. After taking in to get fixed twice and he'd end up and die after a few weeks, I tried a quick (and free-_-) fix I could do at home. (Note this isn't my question again, because I want to help some people who have the same problem, I had). I found a (I hope I remember where) online and I still thank the poster that has name up to this day.

    The idea is the laptop overheating, refresh, then cross your fingers and hope that it starts. Here are the steps I followed:

    1. Remove the battery (if you can) and connect your Macbook.
    2. Find two pillows for "sandwich" of your Macbook with.
    3. Turn on the Macbook and put it on one of the UPSIDE-DOWN cushions. (This is critical!)
    4. Ask the second pillow placed on the computer (always upside down) and leave for an hour and a half, running. (It may help to cover pillows with more effective coverage trap heat).
    5. After that he did heating, place it in a room different upside DOWN and leave it for at least 8 hours. (Night works too).
    6. Turn UPSIDE down and pray that it starts. Repeat the operation if not... But if this is the case, you CAN use the computer right up. Just leave the upside when you have finished using it.

    WARNING! This Act of overheating probably detrimental to the health of your computer. My computer is running stronger and a little bit slower than before, but if it does not, what really does anyway? My point is, there is a risk that is innate to this process, although I've never had any real problems with it.

    Now for my question: WHY? Why the computer have this problem in the first place? Even if I found a solution, I would know exactly what I'm fixing. I was curious and were all that I could never find solutions, but no real explanations. If you have any ideas or knowledge in the field, I would greatly appreciate a response.

    In addition, if you have any questions about the fix, please file an issue. This post is also a way to help you guys as well.

    This particular type of MacBook frequently has graphic problems. This can be corrected (more or less) by "cooking" the logic board. What you are essentially a type of cooking with a mild detergent. And it has been done before!
