Troubleshooting Guide
Use VirtualTech
Read the manuals.
It’s very difficult to provide a fail-safe set of steps you can follow
every time you experience a problem with the computer. Your
ability to solve problems will improve as you learn about how the
computer and its software work together.
Get familiar with all the manuals provided with your computer, as
well as the manuals that come with the programs and devices you
purchase.
Look in your local computer store or bookstore for self-help books
you can use to supplement the information in the manuals.
