Learn about free repair and recovery tools that can fix damaged Windows installations without having to reformat and reinstall everything from scratch&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Fix Windows Problems for Free<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Windows includes a number of free tools that can help you recover from a major system error. These tools include System Restore, Startup Repair, System Image Recovery, Windows Memory Diagnostic, and the good old Command Prompt. There are also some free third-party tools that can be very helpful wqhen trying to repair a damaged Windows system.<\/p>\n<p>System Restore is the best place to start, when things don&#8217;t seem to be working right, and you have an idea of when the problem first started. System Restore can &#8220;turn back the clock&#8221; and return your computer to a previous point in time when things were working. If you&#8217;ve accidentally made changes to system settings, or downloaded something that&#8217;s causing problems; if your Windows registry is damaged, or you think a virus has snuck past your defenses; System Restore can usually fix things up.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike some of the other repair tools I&#8217;ll cover later in this article, System Restore is non-destructive. All of your documents, photos and other personal files will remain, while changes to system settings and software are rolled back. See my article System Restore for Windows 7 to more details on System Restore and how it works. If you&#8217;re running Windows XP, see Time Travel with System Restore.<\/p>\n<p>If you still have a virus or other malware after running System Restore, see Free Anti-Virus Programs.<\/p>\n<p><b><a
