Besides repairing drives, recovering data and checking the health of your Macintosh components, TechTool Pro 3 can now help protect you against virus problems and software conflicts. But the real power of TechTool Pro 3 isn''t in the features you can see, it''s in the features you can''t see. Like a multitude of new drive repair routines that can save data that other utilities would simply abandon. An improved recovery system that will find lost files in the darkest caverns of a damaged drive. You''ll also find improved performance on key features like disk optimization. Simply put, TechTool Pro 3 is the most complete and powerful troubleshooting utility available for your Mac.

System bombs, freezes, Sad Macs, crashes, SCSI problems and indecipherable error codes. Macintosh users face these and other potential hazards all of the time. Sometimes the source of the problem is obvious, but most of the time it''s not. That''s why you need TechTool Pro 3.0, the new problem-solving utility from MicroMat Computer Systems.


Finds Problems

No other program tests as many different aspects of your system as thoroughly as TechTool Pro. The program covers all aspects of your Macintosh from your ADB circuitry to your Zip drive and everything in between. When testing different aspects of your Mac''s components, TechTool Pro doesn''t just do simplistic tests which determine whether the component is working or not. Instead the program executes an entire battery of tests to determine the functionality of each aspect of that component. For instance, TechTool Pro has 14 different tests just for your modem alone. Two of those tests actually determine the line level and signal quality of the phone line to which the modem is attached. By seeking out problems in all aspects of each part of your system, TechTool Pro goes far beyond cryptic diagnostic products to reach the heart of your Mac''s troubles.

* Fixes Problems

Showing you what''s wrong with your Mac is only half the battle. TechTool Pro can correct many of the problems it finds. It will repair a multitude of disk problems that can affect B-Trees, Master Directory Blocks, Extents, File Allocation Blocks and many other file related problems. TechTool Pro will also correct parameter related errors that can cause your machine to work incorrectly or that could cripple it completely.

* Helps Your Mac Run Better

TechTool Pro 3.0 will also help you make your Macintosh run better between times of trouble. TechTool offers unrivaled analysis features that let you see how your Macintosh is running through easy-to-read graphic displays.

* Easy To Use/Total Control

TechTool Pro 3.0 offers you two ways to work on your computer:
* Standard Interface: The default interface for TechTool Pro is the Standard interface. Simply put, this means a full diagnostic of your system is only one mouse click away. Instead of making you decide which tests are best for your machine, TechTool Pro''s standard interface makes those decisions for you and displays the results as testing progresses.
* Expert Interface: it gives you full control of which tests you would like to run and, in some cases, the complexity of those tests. You can also create your favorite suite of tests and save it as a double-clickable file for later execution. Repetitive tests are also available through our unique Auto-Pilot panel, which allows you to select which tests to run, how many times to repeat the tests and whether to restart the machine in between test sessions.
* The Big Picture

TechTool Pro can show you everything you, or someone else, needs to know about your Mac. Literally hundreds of different aspects of your machine can be viewed or printed in a variety of ways using TechTool Pro''s advanced report feature. Our verbatim report can produce a beautifully outlined report that looks as if it was written and laid out by a professional.

* The Bottom Line

If care for or count on your Macintosh, there is no other utility that does as much for your computer as TechTool Pro. If Macintosh troubles are bringing you down, then get TechTool Pro. Because you''ve got better things to do with your time than waste it on a broken computer.
