CREATIVE SOLUTION
Everyone has a PC must had a wish like these sometime: “I wish that problem has never happened”; “I wish I could go back to the time before that”; “I wish I could try that again”; “I wish I could fix that problem in seconds”…
MAGICURE™ can make these wishes become true for you. MAGICURE is an innovative PC rollback solution. It represents an advancement in technology that has never before been available in fixing computer problems. It allows PC users regardless their skill levels to easily and quickly fix their PC problems in seconds by reverting thePC back in time. It empowers both users and IT professionals to save tremendous amount of time and money to support their PCs. MAGICURE provides you the power to undo PC problems in seconds!
Does it sound too good to be true? It sounds really good and it is true. It is a software product, not a theory. Therefore we can easily put these claims into tests. This Testing Guideline provides you the testing sequences to examine some of the MAGICURE features. By going through these test steps, you will see how magical and powerful MAGICURE is.
After setup MAGICURE, you should first confirm the setup was successful before proceeding with the testing procedures. Because some of these tests involving purposely crash your PC, you need to make sure MAGICURE is installed and working properly before you do these tests.
1. MAGICURE setup will insert an icon in the system tray. You can find it in the lower right hand corner of the Windows desktop. Right click the icon to bring up the popup menu. (fig 1)

2. Select Application Console on the popup menu opens the program's main console. In the Application Console, click on Program settings under the General settings side menu. In the right hand panel, you should see the protection information such as which partitions are protected by MAGICURE. You want to see this, so you don't delete or crashed information that is NOT in the protect partitions during the tests. (fig 2)

3. You can then do a quick test to validate MAGICURE is working. Change the desktop wallpaper to something else and delete an icon off the Window's desktop.
4. Go back into the Application Console, click on Restore system under the Quick Fixes side menu. In the right hand panel, you should see one snapshot there. That's the baseline snapshot created during setup. Select the snapshot and click on Next. (fig 3)

Restore will need to restart the PC (Notice MAGICURE restoring the snapshot during restart). No matter how much information you have in the snapshot or how big the drive is, MAGICURE will only take seconds to restore the snapshot. After you boot back into Windows, check to see if the delete icons are restored and the wallpaper is set back to what it was. If so, great! MAGICURE has done its job. We are ready to show you some more exciting stuff.
Let's say a virus got into your system and damaged a Microsoft Word file. We want to show you how you can use MAGICURE to easily and quickly recover that damaged file.
1. For this test, you will first act as a virus by deleting a Microsoft Word document from your computer, and then empty the Recycle Bin to make sure the file is GONE!
2. Then open the MAGICURE Application Console, click on Recover file under the Quick Fixes side menu. In the right hand panel, you should see the file recovery options. You can recover the file by its name if you remember it; or if you only remember the file type, we can try to recover it by its type; or if you only remember which folder it was in, we can try to recover it by looking for the folder; or if you don’t remember much about it, you can browse the drive to find it like Windows explorer. In this test, you will try to find it by its type. Select search by a Specific File Type and type in *.doc and then click on Next.

3. You will see the list of snapshots. Select a snapshot that contains the deleted word files and then click on Next.

4. MAGICURE will find and list all the Microsoft Word files in the selected snapshot. Select the file and right click it to recover.

5. Browse your PC to check that the deleted file has been recovered.
In the Setup Confirmation test, we have shown you how to restore a snapshot in Windows. In that test, you recovered deleted desktop icons (and any other files, software). What if the Windows has crashed, and you are not even able to boot into Windows. How can you use MAGICURE to restore a crashed system?
1. For this test, you will delete some important Windows system files or Windows registry entries to purposely crash the system and then we will show you how to recover from that.
2. On the C drive of your computer, delete the NTDETECT.COM file (NTDETECT.COM is a Windows system file, it is hidden by default. You need to select view all files in order to see it and delete it). Restart the computer.
3. The computer will not be able to startup because of the missing NTDETECT.COM file. To restore the crashed system using MAGICURE, press the HOME key on your keyboard while you see the MAGICURE logo during startup.
4. Select the Restore system command in the Subsystem Console. You will see the list of snapshots. Select a good snapshot and click on Next to restore it.
5. Within seconds, the computer will be restored to the selected snapshot and start to boot up.
In the previous tests, you have tested how to restore the system in Windows, recover files and restore crashed system. As you can see, the "magic" of MAGICURE is within the snapshots. You restore the system to a snapshot, recover files from a snapshot. So you need to constantly create new snapshots to protect the changes on your PC.
1. For this test, we will show you how easy and fast it’s to take a new snapshot with MAGICURE.
2. Open the MAGICURE Application Console, click on Take Snapshot under the Easy Updates side menu. In the right hand panel, type in the name and description for your new snapshot and then click on Next.

3. It only takes seconds to create the new snapshot. The new snapshot contains everything including system,data, programs and setting. When it's finished, click on Snapshot settings under General Settings to confirm you have a new snapshot listed there.
So far you have tested how to take a new snapshot, recover files from a snapshot and restore crashed system to a snapshot. For this test, we will show you how powerful MAGICURE can be and how creative you can be with MAGICURE solution.
1. You will first take a snapshot of the system. Open the Application Console, click on Take Snapshot under the Easy Updates side menu. you will take a snapshot called "Test".
2. Then you will created a new Microsoft word file on the desktop called "New.doc".
3. Next you will delete the NTDETECT.COM file (as we did the crash system test) to cause the system to crash (Note we didn't take a new snapshot after creating the "New.doc" file). Restart the computer.
4. The system will not boot as you expected. Now what do you do? You can certainly restore the system to the "Test" snapshot that you created earlier (Same thing as you did in the "Restore crashed system" test). But the word file "New.doc" is not part of the "Test" snapshot, restoring PC to the “Test” snapshot will not bring back that file. The "New.doc" file could be an important e-mail or sales document. So how can you restore the system to a working snapshot and get the "New.doc" back?
5. As the system is down right now, you need to do your magic in the MAGICURE Subsystem Console. Restart the PC, press the HOME key to enter the MAGICURE Subsystem Console.
6. In the Subsystem Console, YOU WILL FIRST TAKE A SNAPSHOT OF THE SYSTEM. Even though the system is down, MAGICURE still allows you to take a snapshot of it. You will call this snapshot "Crashed".
7. Then you can restore the system to the last good snapshot, “Test” from Subsystem Console. The system will boot with that snapshot.
8. After you are back in the Windows, you will open the MAGICURE Application Console and run the Recover files feature. you will search the "Crashed" snapshot for the "New.doc" file and copy it to the current system.
This test demonstrated to you with MAGICURE you can achieve virtually zero system downtime and zero data lost in any problems (except hardware problems).
