Blue Screen and Rj System File Checker Software for Windows

RJ System File Checker
$19.95 - RJ Solutions

Getting a lot of Illegal Operations? The problem may be with old versions of system files conflicting with new versions of the same system files. On Windows-based systems, particularly with Windows 95 and 98, software applications that you install may install an updated system file. But instead of replacing an old system file, it often puts the new system file in its own application folder. The problem that occurs is that other applications that use this system file will load the old version from your System folder. Then you run the new application that uses the same system file, but uses the newer version instead. The problem is that only one copy of the system file can be in memory at a time, so the new program will try to do something that does not exist in the old system file, thus causing the "Illegal Operation".

RJ System File Checker scans your system for duplicate system files and eliminates the old versions. You have the option of having RJ System File Checker automatically do the work for you and reporting on what it did, or you can have it present a listing of all duplicate system files and version information to determine the best course of action. RJ System File Checker will also back up all system files it removes, so that you can easily restore a system file that is needed.

We at RJ Solutions recommend using RJ System File Checker with care, as carelessly removing system files can make your Windows operating system completely inoperable--even possibly preventing Windows from booting. The automated facility does function well, but you should review what actions were taken when the process completes.

RJ System File Checker is an excellent tool and has recevied high ratings from several shareware sites, including four stars at Yippee.net. Please try RJ System File Checker free for 15 days.

Please Note: There is a reported problem with the registration key of RJ System File Checker. If your Regional settings in Control Panel use a date format other than "mm/dd/yyyy" (the USA format--Month first, then day, then year), RJ System File Checker will have difficulty recognizing your Registration key as valid. If you encounter this problem, temporarily changing your regional settings to English (US) will solve this, but RJ System File Checker may need to be set this way every time you run. I apologize for this problem, and when I am able to get back into the code I will fix the bug--but at this time no fix is planned.

Best Registry Cleaner Comparison Tool
$0 - IPEI

The windows registry accumulates errors which slow down your computer over time. This occurs because your computer searches through the registry when retrieving information. Without the registry, your computer would not be able to run.

And each time you shut it down; it will record the changes you made while your computer was on. Obviously, the bigger your registry, the more time it will take for your computer to sort through it. This is exactly the reason why you need to clean your registry and keep it down to a manageable size.

FirstDefense-ISR
$69 - Horizon DataSys Inc.

FirstDefense-ISR is an Instant System Recovery solution that has been designed for enterprise and mid-range servers and mission critical workstations, running Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 operating systems. FirstDefense-ISR functions transparently and allows administrators to quickly restore their systems to any complete predefined configuration. No special hardware is required. Furthermore, you do not require special CMOS, or additional disk partitions to be created. FirstDefense-ISR works on single or multi-partitioned systems, fully supporting RAID 0, 0+1, 5, and/or in clustering environments.

FirstDefense-ISR performs full-system backups for the purpose of immediate system recovery. The concept was developed as a result of years of listening to IT professionals concerned about having to deal with non-recoverable Windows blue screens, service pack installs going awry, and critical files becoming corrupted. These occurrences render the system unbootable and data is inaccessible until the problem is repaired.

FirstDefense-ISR periodically (and transparently) takes snapshots of the current state of the user?s system and applications software. It has the capability of storing up to ten point-in-time snapshots. Following a system crash, the user can immediately fall back to the most recent and uncorrupted snapshot. This reduces the MTTR to virtually zero and enables users and IT staff to instantly repair system crashes without the loss of productivity that results from extensive downtime.

Ability to create and maintain up to 10 "point-in-time" system snapshots. Each snapshot is bootable with no rebuild required.

Differential (changed files only) copy engine for fast snapshot updates.

Data Anchoring feature makes data files available to any snapshot that is booted.

Ability to create a compressed snapshot using NTFS file compression for a significantly smaller snapshot.

Ability to archive snapshots to another device.

RootKit Hook Analyzer
$0 - Resplendence Software Projects

RootKit Hook Analyzer is a security tool which will check if there are any rootkits installed on your computer which hook the kernel system services. Kernel RootKit Hooks are installed modules which intercept the principal system services that all programs and the operating system rely on.
If any of these system services are intercepted and modified it means that there is a possibility that the safety of your system is at risk and that spyware, a virus or other malware is active on your system. Kernel hooks are not necessarily bad, for system monitoring software and security tools often they are a necessary evil. However it is desired if kernel rootkit hooks are installed on your system that you can find out where they come from. This program will display all kernel services and the responsible modules for handling them, along with company and product information. If no hooks are active on your system it means that all system services are handled by NTOSKRNL.EXE, the principal base component of most Windows operating systems which is developed by Microsoft. All you have to do to find out what kernel hooks are installed on your system is press the Analyze button at the bottom of the screen. RootKit Hook Analyzer also allows you to view installed system modules and drivers with their base addresses as well as file and product information as well as the responsible companies.

New is the option to tets the quality of system hooks. If you have legitimate software installed which uses system call hooks, you can test if they are properly implemented by using the hook test function. This way you can see if hooking third-party system software may be responsible for random reboots and blue screens on your system.

The software is distributed as a free download. For more information visit
