7 Free Ways to Troubleshoot Windows
12 Mar' 2010No computer runs perfectly forever. Somewhere along the line, something will go wrong. While each successive version of Windows has been that much more reliable and self-healing, that's never been an argument to forgo a good collection of software tools.
Over the years we've accumulated a slew of third-party troubleshooting apps that have proven their value again and again, so much so that they're among the very first programs installed in any system we use. If something goes wrong --Â a Blue Screen of Death, a slow-booting system, a recent program install that's made everything slower than molasses going uphill in January -- we turn to these tools to set things right. All of them are free for personal use, some are open source, and each of them deserves a place in the toolbox of the savvy Windows user.
