Quick Fix

I love this book . The process flows clearly , Great explainations ,well comunication to readers , perfect layout and decorations . Good good book .

WOW !! I am impressed !

As far as I am concerned, this book paid for itself in the first 5 minutes.A few weeks ago, my adult daughter installed AOL on my computer (without my permission) and it "took over". It replaced my browser with theirs, and changed my ISP. When I changed back, it would always make me wait a few minutes before allowing me to log on. Although I bought this book to look for another problem, I was waiting to log on when I recieved the book. I tried what they said to do, and FIXED MY PROBLEM!If you don't know much about computers, but want to fix something that bugs you about the way yours is acting, then I whole-heartedly recommend this book.Gotta go look up Defrag now.

Microsoft knows Microsoft's products

In this book you'll find a map of troubleshooting takes you directly to the solution. I think every user must own this book, because there are many problems may cost too much if you fix them by a specialist. So my advice is, own this book whatever your experience level was.

The Book for Newbies

If one is new to the Windows 9x platform, then this is your book. It has many helpful troubleshooting tips and fixes (step-by-step) throughout its pages. If you would like to learn how to "fixit" yourself this book is a great start. It is easy to follow and understand. I cannot say that I didn't learn anything from the book, but (as I stated) it is geared more for the beginner. I gave it a 5 star rating with this in mind.

Most useful computer book I've bought

This is one of the most useful books I've ever bought. I bought it because of its title and because it's from Microsoft so I thought it would have good inside information. Even though I'm somewhat experienced I still have Windows problems I can't solve. It's already been very helpful, solved numerous problems, and I've gotten rid of errors without having to hire an expensive "consultant" for advice. I appreciate that its so clearly written, unlike a lot of books that jump into throwing around technical terms, and it's very easy to follow, unlike other computer books I've used. Also, the problems it covers are very commonplace so I can easily see sending one to everyone I know who asks me computer questions! I think they'd find it just as helpful. Thank you for this great book. I recommend it highly.
