Computer Frustrations
There's no doubt that our computers are frustrating things. I'm sure they've been designed to make us all old before our time. Never fear, to keep frustrations at a low just follow the tips below...
If you have a problem with a certain piece of hardware, like a hard drive, a modem or some other peripheral device, one of the best places to look is the web site of the manufacturer and/or the distributor.
Many hardware manufacturers and the distributors of their products do maintain a Help or Tech Support segment online for their various products. Those can be virtual gold mines of solutions to known problems.
The documentation that came with your computer or individual piece of hardware will usually include some form of directions to such Help sites online as well as phone numbers and regular mail addresses that you can use to contact Support personnel.
If you cannot find such documentation, you can use any good Web search engine to locate the necessary web sites.
If you are having problems with software, again, search under the name of the company or the name of its product.
For example, search for the Microsoft site and then search for Word if you need a patch or an upgrade for MS-Word software.
For example, if you are using Macintosh, look at maorchard.com
If you're looking for more discussion of problems and tricks, then a newsgroup is for you.
