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.

All the fixes that Microsoft is offering can be accessed directly at the official 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 Windows XP sidebar mod.).

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.
