General information

With Buzz FixKit you can get Buzz running even if you've reinstalled your Windows, you've unpacked Buzz from an archive (zip/rar/whatever) or you're running Buzz from a CD and you don't want to install it on your HD. It also fixes a few problems related to different Buzz configurations, installs and plugins.

Please note: Nothing will happen until you press a button labeled "Start!". That happens _after_ selecting the wanted operations. Nothing totally irreversible should happen if you play with this program, but be careful anyway. In some operations, you will need to make decisions. Please read the instructions carefully and select "Ok" or "Cancel" accordingly.

Note: By default no operations will be done.

Very important:

  1. Do not fix what is not broken.
  2. Do not never ever select all fixes at once. If you have problems with Buzz, read the instructions and select the fix you want to try.
  3. Selecting options from both "Setup" and "Fixes" at the same time should not be necessary and might break your Buzz instead of fixing it.
