Before using Dial-a-fix (or any system utility for that matter, including Microsoft's own chkdsk for example) please do the following: Ensure your hard drive has no bad blocks Ensure your memory is free of errors To check for bad blocks, you can use your hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic utility (search for it), Dell's extended hard drive diagnostic (if you have a Dell, that is - and call Dell for support with this), Hitachi DFT (which works with almost any drive and is the recommended choice for most users) or a Linux live CD with the…

Hi all, You can follow DialAFix's development and post suggestions on Facebook! I have also been posting progress on my blog. Cheers.

I was wondering if the Dial a fix project was alive anywhere or even if someone else had continued it? Not really sure whats been going on with it. If anyone reads this thanks for taking the time to read this and answer.

Greetings. I hope you can help me. I was not able to obtain Windows Updates. I could not connect to the site. In addition, I was unable to get updates for Microsoft Security Essentials. After much searching and trying procedures, BITS was not in Serices. I eventually was able to have an entry there, but the file required was not on my computer. Thus I downloaded and ran Dial-a-Fix version 0.60.0.24 I checked box 3 Fix Windows Updates. Other boxes in 4 a 5 became checked. The program hung up on cryptography - over 30 minutes. I clicked on the red X, but the program continued to give the message "cancelling after current procedure completes". I opened task ma…

Please like on facebook! Please tell your techie friends to like! Please tell everyone to send money! --- I don't want this to die, and neither does anyone else. But I need financial help if I'm ever going to find time to work on this again. If everyone sends a few bucks, I may be able to take time off from my 17 hour workdays (6.5 days a week) to work on Dial-a-fix. It's because of the work I have to endure just to stay in debt that takes me away from Dial-a-fix. Please help! - DjLizard

Are there any plans for a windows 7 version of Dial-A-Fix. As I understand the version freely posted on the web only supports up to Windows XP. Any other freeware packages like it that supports Vista and 7?

Using the empty temp folders feature, it deletes c:\documents, can anyone tell me why this is? I've had a customer's 7 years worth of data deleted. It'd be great to have an answer. Thanks; rjm

I have a few computers which will randomly not load the desktop icons and taskbar on logon. The only thing showing is the splash screen. I can control+alt+delete and logoff. Usually when I log back in the profile loads ok. This is an ongoing, random issue. Can dial-a-fix's registration of the Explorer/shell fix this problem?

Hi, will Dial-A-Fix repair or correct folder permissions on a user folder in Server 2003?

I recently came across a problem that I had many years ago. I am operating on a Windows XP Home system but when I go into the control panel and click on Add/Remove Programs or Display i get an error message saying that Rundll.32.exe cannot be found.

Hi,I did a scan and got the results. Some IE8 files were picked up. I read your docs on how it's not supported.

It looks like Dial-a-fix won't be developed for Windows Vista. Any chance it may be updated for Windows 7, since this will probably become the dominant OS in the near future.

I could use some help. I have a dell with 2003 standard on it - trying to fix the wmi/wbem, when I run "reset wmi/wbem" it crashes at "registering wbem\fastprox.dll..." with the error message "Access violation at address 77B914CD in module'version.dll. Read of address 00000004." I am using the current version downloaded tonight from the lunarsoft site. Can anybody help. my server is essentially down. Thanks Rich

Hi Folks, Greetings. Appreciate your tools and forum, new to them today. Normally my XP-SP3 puter has 2 users in addition to the Administrator, and there are to be no restrictions. Today: lots of .exe initiation problems Permissions - "windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access the item" UNLESS : Safe Mode and Administrator signon. (Possibly Safe Mode and regular sign-ons are ok, I have not tested, Administrator signon outside safe mode hits the same problems.) This seemed to arise after last nights Windows IE8 hotfix (Note: before this, in general my IE8 does not want to open, sim…

I ran Dial-a-fix V0.60.0.24 successfully, I think, and then it said to send the list of exceptions to DjLizard.net, but my mail was returned as undeliverable, bad address. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, tmhgolf, T.Hanlin

I know dial a fix does not support vista and not sure when if ever. What is best solution to fixing windows update issues on vista? Many solutions like repairing registry with various paid programs are bogus and waste of time. So how does one fix windows updates that won't function?

I have a similar problem as those with error 127. I ran DAF and it said "Dial-A-Fix was unable to determine your IE version. Certain DLL registrations will be skipped." I chose no to continue for fear of any damage that may occur. I am running DAF v0.60.0.24.
