You've tagged onto a five year old message thread. Your new question is a lonely,
distant caboose and the thread isn't even about your own problem. Why don't you
come back and write your own new message, instead? You'll have a much better chance
of being answered.
If your PC is giving you trouble, and you would like to learn how to solve the
problem, membership in the Annoyances Forums here is free. But there is a COST
you
are expected to pay if you hope for answers. You have to actually describe the
problem, and the software, and the hardware, that is involved, in some detail.
Any error messages generated should be included, in the EXACT words that were
used. Decribe the system, detail the symptoms, and tell us what trouble shooting
you have attempted so far.
If you have run searches for your problem, either here on Annoyances, or through
a public search engine like Google, tell us you've done so. YOU SHOULD include
normal text formatting, including capitalization where it is appropriate, paragraph
breaks, punctuation, just as if it was a business letter. Please leave out any
juvenile slang such as used in IM. Adults won't waste time on that.
Then, at the bottom, ignore the fallacious advice there, and *DO* check
off the "Preserve Spacing" box. If you have difficulty with these suggestions, I
can only advise you that the same sort of clear writing as I've asked for is what
is needed for a good job-grabbing resume', or if you're not in the job market yet,
for a good grade on a school paper of most any kind.
There is also a second cost that applies to using computers generally, not only
to writing for help according to my suggestions. It's one that too many people
resist, and yet it isn't that demanding. You need to take the time to learn more
about what the PC is all about, how to tune it up, how to trouble shoot its
problems, stuff like that. The very best way that I know of is to use a good
reference, a book that talks to you like a friend, not like a stuffy engineering
type of nerd, nor should it talk "down at you" like some College Professors might.
The most popular answer to this investment cost is the Dan Gookin book that has
sold in the millions of copies and started a publishing trend with its friendly,
no nonsense style: "PC's for Dummies" is truly a great book for beginners.
