Imagine LAN Inc. announces plans to continue ConfigSafe® support for Windows 98® and Windows Me

ConfigSafe system snapshot and recovery tool continues to provide essential protection for Windows PCs

Nashua, NH (PRWEB) March 10, 2004 -

— imagine LAN, Inc., a leading developer of system protection and repair software for Windows® PCs, today announced plans to continue its support of ConfigSafe® on Windows 98, Windows 98SE and Windows Me through 2006. The decision was based upon Microsoft® Corporation’s recent announcement that the company will extend support for these operating systems through December 31, 2006.

ConfigSafe protects Windows-based PCs from crashes and configuration problems by tracking changes to a system's configuration over time, by taking a “picture” or snapshot. The snapshot stores information about the system’s configuration at that exact point in time—monitoring items such as configuration files, system changes (memory, processor, and Windows version), drives, directories, the Windows Registry, and other user-definable system assets, such as the Windows Desktop. Using the stored snapshot, users or support providers can quickly identify changes made to a system and even restore a problem PC to a working configuration within minutes, with no data or application loss.

“Because there are no built-in system protection and recovery features under the Windows 98 operating system, it is critical that users have quick and simple protection from potential problems,” says Jan Olsen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at imagine LAN. “ConfigSafe provides a fast way to recover systems that ‘were fine yesterday, but don’t work today’ due to conflicts that occur from misbehaved or conflicting software installations or updates, and erroneous or inadvertent system changes.”

Imagine LAN pioneered snapshot technology with its initial introduction of ConfigSafe in 1995, and today the product has over 30 million users.
