Many times we try to install a new hardware in Windows but Windows doesn't detect it or the driver installation fails due to unknown problems.
To fix all such kind of problems, Microsoft has released a new Fixit.
This new Fixit automatically diagnoses and repairs problems with devices when the device manager does not detect your hardware, audio, USB, or other devices, or when your devices are disabled or not working.
What it fixes:
- When you install a hardware device, it is not detected
- Determine if your audio device is plugged in
- Driver updates aren't automatically installed by Windows Update
- You receive one of the following errors:
- Your <Device Name> is currently disabled or turned off in Windows
- Your <Device Name> has a driver problem and needs to be reinstalled
- Windows has detected a problem with your <Device Name>, it is not working properly
- There is no driver installed for your <Device Name>
You can download the Fixit using following link:

Hehe... Nice post!
@VG: Do you have an offline installer for this? I have execute the EXE file and what I saw is the installer is downloading the "Fix It Engine" from Microsoft's server
VG
^^ Yes. It requires some files to be downloaded but it takes only a few seconds.

No it doesnt work with Windows xp
I ran it and it said "this troubleshooter does not apply to your system"
PS: worked with Windows Vista (Microsoft is totally ignoring xp now)

Don't be sad, but xp died some time ago, nobody told you? It was a sad and lonely death so that not even Bill, the father of XP, was at the funeral.

I don't notice any blurring effect on my explorer, this problem would be located only in certain hardware configurations?
VG
^^ lol.
Regarding blurred font issue, not everyone faces it.
