Customer Reviews

Great book for Beginners

Bought the book for my mother-in-law since she purchased a laptop. This helped her out to fully understand the fundamentals of Window XP. She has been surfing on her own. I recommend this for a beginner.

Windows XP For Dummies, 2nd Edition

I did not think upgrading from Windows 98SE to Windows XP would be very difficult and although it was not impossible, it was nerve-racking. The Dummies book has definitely calmed my nerves. It is easy to find the problem or question you have and the book is written in easy to understand language so your problems or questions are solved or answered quickly.

Solve all your XP problems

This isn't the sort of book you just pick up and read. This is the kind of book you grab in an emergency and it helps solve your computer problem. Wonderful as a reference on performing tasks you aren't familiar with. I Consider this book a "necessity". Even though I am somewhat computer savvy, this book still is needed for unusual jobs you might not do on a daily basis. If you have an XP computer, you need this book.

funny, but informative

Using Windows XP is much easier after reading this book, and be prepared to laugh a little. The author makes this book very informative and fun all at the same time. Most educational books are DULL, but not this one. Buy this book!!! ...

Great help with new Windows

Windows 98 For Dummies helped me figure out my way around my first computer. When I bought a new computer with a new Windows, I was lost again. I went back to the book that helped me the first time and quickly figured out how to use xp. This book was just what I needed.
