FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



I have answered a lot of questions over the years and so I thought it would be useful to share them with you. To this end I have started a 'Frequently Asked Questions' area, covering everything from Internet connectivity issues to problems burning DVDs.

 

I have categorised the questions into sections for your convenience, and for ease of searching.  Many of my FAQs answer general queries, but a number pertain specifically to Windows XP and 2000. More recently I have started special sections for both Windows 7 and Vista questions.
