Microsoft is testing a new "Fix it Center" - an online and PC-based tool for helping users solve their Windows technical problems.
While a fair amount of diagnostics are built into Windows 7, the free Fix it Center aims to expand on these and also bring similar capabilities to Windows XP and Windows Vista.
The service, which went into beta on Thursday, consists of both a Windows download and an online service.

While the service has around 300 fixes built-in, Microsoft said it can also be useful even if it can't solve an issue on its own.
The service works with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, although for XP it requires customers to be using at least Service Pack 3 (or Service Pack 2 of the 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional). It also works with Windows Server 2003 (with Service Pack 2) and Windows Server 2008.
Microsoft is also aiming to make it attractive for small businesses, by allowing a single account to be used for multiple PCs.
