The process has been simplified and basically consists of a script that can be downloaded and executed on the computer system to fix the problem at hand. A way to manually fix the problem at hand is always displayed as well.</p><p><span
id="more-12202"></span>All the fixes that Microsoft is offering can be accessed directly at the <a
href="http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us">official</a> website. A recent addition is the Fix It gadget which can be added to both the Windows Vista and the Windows 7 operating system (and probably even for the <a
href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/11/15/windows-vista-sidebar-for-windows-xp/">Windows XP sidebar</a> mod.).</p><p>The Fix It sidebar gadget provides access to all of the fixes that have been created by Microsoft for the various operating systems and applications. It offers a search that can be used to search the database for fix it solutions or a tag cloud alternatively. Solutions will be displayed in the gadget including their name and download count. A click on a problem will open a new window with additional information and a link to the one click solution.</p><p><img
