Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting Services

Has anyone ever used this Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting Services located here http://support.microsoft.com/gp/slow...ws_performance

I forgot how I found it but I never heard of it before and wondered if anyone has used and is it any good?

I've passed on the "FIX IT" for missing cd/dvd drives and have seen several people get back up and running.

On a related deal - have you ever done the "Report This Error" function from Windows AND gotten a reply? I've gotten a few replies over the past couple years and one reply fixed my issue.

That's a blast from the past. If I remember correctly, it removes unnecessary start-up items and checks for dual anti virus programs running.

jdeb - not sure what you're referring too...But the link toomyg posted is fairly new stuff.

I must be thinking of something else. I thought it went all the way back to the XP days.
