ArticlesFirst Aid 98


Novem ber 1997 / What's New / First Aid 98

First Aid 98 ($39.95), the third-generation version of the PC repair software, has a newly refined interface, an Emergency Recovery System, and on-line help services. It lists any problems with a system in plain English, listed in order of severity. It can fix a problem automatically. If you don't trust the software to fix a bug on its own, you can fix stuff yourself, and the software will walk you through the steps, explaining them as it goes. It links to support sites to get answers it doesn't know, and with HTML support and FAQs, on-line data can be presented without needing to launch a Web browser. First Aid 98 traps error messages to make it easier to identify the source of a crash. If the program is unable to find the source of a glitch, it will contact the vendor by e-mail, sending a detailed message outlining the nature of the bug. The Emergency Recovery System checks the OS for signs of failure. First Aid 98 runs on Windows 95.
